After completing two extensive back-to-back tours of the West Coast and Midwest over the summer and through the fall, the Autumn Film is back at home briefly through the holidays, taking a bit of time off to write before embarking on another series of dates. On the next jaunt, the act, which was whittled down to a three-piece this past summer, will be hitting the East Coast for the first time with stops in Michigan and Chicago along the way.

Ready or not, it's time to start thinking about Christmas. Yes, we know, Thanksgiving hasn't even happened yet, but you know how it goes. The pre-Christmas hype machine gets fired up earlier and earlier each year, it seems. Frankly, we're surprised that certain lite rock station hasn't started barraging us with wall-to-wall holiday tunes yet. Speaking of holiday music, newlyweds Jessica Sonner and Dan Craig as Oh, Starling have put together a five song EP comprised of -- you guessed it -- Chr
