The MIC Mag's December 2025 Issue!

Dive into The MIC Mag's Monthly Issue, where you can see who we've featured and what we've had on repeat all month long!


Cold Weather Company:

cold weather company

Cold Weather Company is an indie alternative-folk band blending the influences and experiences of three singer-songwriters (Steve Shimchick, Jeff Petescia, and Brian Curry) into a cinematic, storytelling soundscape. As they surpass their 12th anniversary with more than 12 million streams and a catalog of 70+ released songs, CWC continues to record, perform, and create for both old and new fans.


This Month, The MIC Mag celebrated Cold Weather Company as our Musicians of the Month!

Jennifer Allsbrook "Oh My Soul"

jennifer allsbrook

Jennifer Allsbrook is a North Carolina–based singer-songwriter whose path to music feels as authentic as the songs she writes. After a lifetime of keeping music close and a career spent in education, she stepped fully into her artistry later than most, bringing with her a lived-in perspective, a fearless emotional core, and a voice shaped by rock, folk, blues, and Americana traditions.

GELEXAIDA "Diet Coke"


GELEXAIDA

"My grandma watched me refuse to perform on stage, even with other people to performing solo with the guitar she bought me. I feel even more motivated than ever to make music my profession. I know she’d be proud of the song I wrote for her." - GELEXAIDA

Sydney Dale "Tinsel"


sydney dale tinsel

"I am leaning into a shift to a jazz and R&B-infused pop. I’m learning more about who I am and who I want to be as an artist. I had so much fun writing, creating, and recording this EP with new people and in a new place. I hope you enjoy it." - Sydney Dale
