Mitchell Broodley Releases Nostalgic Holiday Single “Except For Christmas Day”

Mitchell Broodley is a country artist, songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist originally from South Carolina and now based in Vermont. His music blends modern country-pop production with honest, lived-in storytelling rooted in family, memory, and real life.

After stepping away from a near-record opportunity in his early twenties to pursue graduate school, Broodley returned to songwriting during the pandemic, just as he became a father. That return sparked a body of work defined by warmth, emotional clarity, and melodies that stay stick with you after the song is over.

His self-produced debut single, “Except for Christmas Day,” is a nostalgic, soulful country-pop track centered on the moments that remain constant even as life changes. The song is a strong fit for holiday rotation. Since release, Except For Christmas Day peaked at #1 on Amazon’s New Releases- Holiday, #1 on Amazon’s Movers and Shakers, and #6 on Amazon’s Holiday Best Sellers.

“Except for Christmas Day” marks not just a debut for Broodley, but a homecoming: music made honestly, intentionally, and on Broodley’s own terms.
