Merry Happy Whatever [CD] (ONLINE ORDER ONLY)

They sleighed the charts with their debut (#1 SiriusXM Outlaw Country, #21 Americana, #1 Roots Music Report) - now The Doohickeys are back to deck the halls with their new, all original Christmas EP Merry Happy Whatever.Duo Haley Spence Brown and Jack Hackett were bored of the Christmas classics and thought: "You know what this world needs? More Christmas music."The EP features five original tracks that put an irreverent spin on Christmas cheer - from the title track "Merry Happy Whatever" featuring the Wolves of Glendale, to the sun-soaked "Sunny and 72" with The Goldbergs' Hayley Orrantia (The Masked Singer), to tunes that are a little naughty AND nice like "Santa Needs a Beer" and "Santa is a Stoner." And when the holiday bills start piling up? They've got you covered with "Put It On Credit."The EP boasts an incredible assortment of Los Angeles musicians, including guitarist Jacob Brown (Jesse McCartney, Aly & AJ), multi-instrumentalist Jordan Bush (Hearty Har), bassist Adam Arcos (Whitey Morgan, Leroy From The North), drummer/sleighbell-handler Kevin Brown (Carter Vail), fiddler Eleanor Whitmore (Elvis Costello, Steve Earle), and Sasha Smith on organ (Ariana Grande, Tori Kelly). At the reins was multi-Grammy-nominated producer Eric Corne, who kept the reindeer in line and in time.Merry Happy Whatever: it's festive, it's funny, it's a little bit naughty - and it's certainly a great stocking stuffer. The Doohickeys have amassed 75k followers on instagram and 39k on tiktok, receiving more than 20 million views for their tongue-and-cheek videos. In 2024, they played "Santa Needs A Beer" on Pauly Shore's PMS Podcast Show, complete with a chorus of confetti cannons.
