Windham-based singer-songwriter Mike Stackhouse just released a sweet, original Christmas tune called “Hit Bill With a Toaster.”
“It’s about peace and love, not material things,” sings Stackhouse on top of acoustic and electric guitar.
The song continues.
“Watch Carol Kane hit Bill with a toaster, make homemade bread, put a bird in the roaster. ” The line is a reference to the holiday film “Scrooged,” starring Bill Murray and Carol Kane.
“Christmastime, sing a hymn, look to yourself to find the good within,” repeats Stackhouse a few times during the song, and he sure seems to be onto something.
Stackhouse released the album “Big Ol’ Maine Heart” in 2020 and is working on his next one.
You can see him live on New Year’s Day at Fore River Brewing in South Portland starting at 1:30 p.m.
Happy Holidays!
Here’s “Hit Bill With a Toaster:”
