Editor's note

Kate McGill wrote a holiday staple and quiet songs

Her 1980s Christmas song became a standard, but her catalog holds deeper cuts like 'Match' and 'The Painter.'

For a quick sense of her range, listen to 'A Christmas Message From Yours Truly' and then 'Match.' They're from the same writer but feel like different rooms.

She wrote 'A Christmas Message From Yours Truly' in the early 1980s, and that song became a holiday staple you still hear. But her other songs like 'Match' and 'The Painter' show a different side, more personal and less seasonal. She recorded with bassist Mark Olson and drummer Kevin Hine, making music that felt lived-in rather than polished.

Her debut album was 'In the Shadow of the Willow,' followed by records like 'Ashes to Ashes' and 'The Weight of the World.' She kept writing through the years, with songs ranging from the holiday standard to quieter tracks like 'Trap' and 'Wait.'
