Whether you’re a hardcore holiday music traditionalist or only capable of stomaching those cheerful tunes as filtered through a hardcore lens, there’s something to enjoy nearly every day leading into Christmas, and on certain days, multiple noteworthy offerings sure to get your festive feelings glowing (or Grinch-kin moodiness flowing). This week is particularly jammed.

Thursday kicks off with silky contemporary jazz-turned holiday offerings in A Peter White Christmas Featuring Mindi Abair and Rick Braun, which finds the vet UK-bred jazz guitarist joined by the St. Pete sax mistress and Allentown, Pa., trumpeter, respectively (Dec. 10, Capitol Theatre, Clearwater).

The Florida Orchestra stages symphonic renderings of Christmas carols and yuletide tunes to three venues this weekend in its Holiday Pops concerts (Dec. 11-13, Straz Center, Tampa, Mahaffey Theater, St. Petersburg, and Ruth Eckerd Hall, Clearwater). Saturday takes an atypical turn with two heavy shows featuring local acts throwing down unruly season-inspired sounds within a block of each other – Crushmas 5: Tampa Bay Hardcores 2015 Christmas Party (Twisty Chris and the Puddin' Packs, The Funeral Dazies, Nerds Raging, Pagan Faith and others, Dec. 12, Local 662, St. Petersburg) and the Rock & Roll Holiday Spectacular (Car Bomb Driver, Pretty Voices and Seafang, Dec. 12, Emerald Bar, St. Petersburg). Trans-Siberian Orchestra brings on the prog rock symphonics and seasonal pyrotechnics for its tour debut of The Ghosts of Christmas Eve (Dec. 13, Amalie Arena, Tampa). The Mix 100.7 Mistletoe Show serves AC pop-friendly holiday sounds via Third Eye Blind, Rob Thomas, Rachel Platten and Jamie Lawson (Dec. 14, Ruth Eckerd Hall, Clearwater), Celtic Woman delivers worldly feminine flair with “Home For Christmas – The Symphony Tour” (Dec. 16, Mahaffey Theater, St. Petersburg), and the annual holiday program of instruments-free four-part harmonies from Rockapella lands the following Thursday (Dec. 17, Capitol Theatre, Clearwater).

There's also plenty else on the horizon — here's some more holiday concerts happening this week, plus a look at more music-related holiday happenings leading into Christmas.
