Hooray it’s Bandcamp Day! I love supporting great music. I’ve discovered so many traditional musicians on Bandcamp and am excited to share some of them with you again this month. On Bandcamp Day, Bandcamp waives their revenue share so every purchase goes directly to the artist.

Today’s list features a dozen holiday trad albums with artists from Cape Breton, Scotland, USA, and more. I like Bandcamp because you can download the music you purchase and build your own music collection (just like the old days.) You can listen on the website or via the Bandcamp app, and the best part is that you don’t need to rely on any streaming services or an internet connection once you download your collection.
