Artist: Mary Bragg
Hometown: Swainsboro, Georgia
Song: “A Long December” (Counting Crows cover)
In Their Words: “This heartbreaking classic from Counting Crows has always struck me as a brutally honest winter song, going to the places a lot of holiday songs won’t go. But even in that pause to reflect on pain, the impending new year offers some hope, that ‘maybe this year will be better than the last.β” — Mary Bragg
