Reindeer Tribe is a community, a weekend, an album and an ecology. Its intensions are to write and record Christmas songs. Its spirit is collaboration. Its form is music, food, cocktails, photographs, video, conversation, and laughter. Its state is continuously in flux. Its output is a reflection of the individual passions and obsessions of those present. Its mode in the world is an offering, an outlet and an opportunity. Its name is Reindeer Tribe.
lyrics
Dashing through the snow
In a one-horse open sleigh
O'er the fields we go
Laughing all the way
Bells on bobtail ring'
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight!
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh! what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way;
Oh! what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh
A day or two ago
I thought I'd take a ride
And soon, Miss Fanny Bright
Was seated by my side
The horse was lean and lank
Misfortune seemed his lot
He got into a drifted bank
And then we got upsot
A day or two ago
The story I must tell
I went out on the snow
And on my back I fell;
A gent was riding by
In a one-horse open sleigh
He laughed as there I sprawling lie
But quickly drove away
Now the ground is white
Go it while you're young
Take the girls tonight
And sing this sleighing song;
Just get a bobtailed bay
Two forty as his speed
Hitch him to an open sleigh
And crack! You'll take the lead

We are a collective of friends and musical collaborators in Los Angeles that gather each year to write and record a Christmas album over one long, merrymaking weekend. Enjoy!
I love the original creations, unique sounds, and the smooth mellow Christmas vibes with a spiritual theme, but not too heavy-handed.
It's a perfect mix to the holiday-crazed tendencies - plus they have a FAMOUS Hollywood type who sings with them - Sarah Drew (aka April Kepner "Greys Anatomy"). SubDude1
