Omer Netzer Brings Country Soul to the Season with “Holiday Blues”
NASHVILLE, TN | November 13 — Israeli-born, Nashville-based artist Omer Netzer is connecting hearts this holiday season with “Holiday Blues,” a soulful country/blues single releasing November 21. Penned by Netzer and Stephen Hunley, this original holiday song blends the twang of electric guitar and harmonica with the sparkle of Christmas bells. Produced by David “Messy” Mescon (Dasha, Megan Moroney, Tigirlily Gold), the song tells the story of love lost just before the first snowfall and the ache of spending the season hoping for its return. With its timeless country warmth and bittersweet holiday spirit, “Holiday Blues” will be available on all digital streaming platforms on November 21.
“Holiday Blues” reflects the quieter side of Christmas, where the lights still shine but someone’s missing. It tells the story of a love that walked away just before the first snow, and a man still hoping that maybe, just maybe, Santa will bring her back. “Under all the joy and jingle bells, some hearts are still waiting,” Netzer adds.
“Holiday Blues” channels the charm of classic Christmas records through a timeless country sound that’s both warm and wistful. Blending country, blues, and nostalgic Christmas tones, the track showcases Netzer’s ability to bridge cultures and emotions through music. As an Israeli artist making his mark in Nashville, he continues to craft songs that connect people across backgrounds and beliefs.
“This song is a reminder that the holidays mean something different for everyone,” he says. “No matter where you come from or what you believe, we all know what it feels like to miss someone this time of year.”
A blend of heartbreak and holiday spirit, “Holiday Blues” is an anthem for the quiet moments of the season. It is a song for anyone who has ever loved, lost, and still believes in the magic of what might return. Stream Omer Netzer’s holiday single, “Holiday Blues,” on all digital streaming platforms on November 21.
About Omer Netzer:
Born in Nahariya, a coastal town in northern Israel, Omer Netzer grew up in his family’s music shop, surrounded by sounds from Johnny Cash to B.B. King. Music became both his passion and lifeline, especially during wartime. His path led him to serve as a combat medic and later as an equine therapist, using horses to help trauma survivors heal. Netzer’s debut album, Goodbye Song, produced three Israeli radio hits and launched him across Europe, including performances alongside global stars like Kendrick Lamar and Mumford & Sons. In 2019, he opened for Bon Jovi, which eventually led him to move across the world to Nashville. Since relocating in 2023, Netzer signed with White Knuckle Productions, he’s become the first artist to represent Israel at CMA Fest, and is working with producer David “Messy” Mescon (Dasha, Megan Moroney, Tigirlily Gold). His chart-topping radio single, “Midnight Blue,” is a powerful ballad that captures the ache of loss and the quiet beauty of vulnerability with its powerful lyrics. The fan-favorite summer track was also featured on Apple Music Country’s Country Roads Playlist for over 18 weeks. Following the success of his summer single, Netzer recently released his Nashville debut EP, OMER. This project features soulful tracks that showcase Netzer’s grit and country soul.
