Singer Songwriter Phoebe Bridgers has released a stunningly aching cover of The Handsome Family’s “So Much Wine;” a welcome addition to her Christmas song catalogue with all proceeds going to the Los Angeles LGBT Centre.
The Christmas cover has become an annual tradition for Bridgers who has previously shared covers of Tom Waits‘ “Day After Tomorrow,” “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas,” Merle Haggard’s “If We Make It Through December,” Simon & Garfunkel‘s “‘7 O’Clock News / Silent Night” with Fiona Apple and The National‘s Matt Berninger, and McCarthy Trenching’s “Christmas Song” with Jackson Browne. All proceeds go to organisations doing essential community work.
So Much Wine proceeds will go to the LA LGBT Centre; the world’s largest non profit, assisting tens of thousands of LGBTQ+ people each month with vital and life-saving services, including youth and senior housing, legal assistance, and affirming, life-saving healthcare.
The photograph for this piece was taken by her fiancé, Irish Actor and Normal People Star Paul Mescal.
Phoebe is currently winding down her Punisher global tour – with shows upcoming in Mexico, New Zealand and Australia. She’ll join Taylor Swift on some stadium dates in Spring 2023
