The Philly Specials

The Philly Specials released their debut, A Philly Special Christmas on December 23, 2022 digitally and its limited pressing on vinyl sold out immediately. The record reached four top 10 spots on various Billboard Music Charts including #1 on the Compilation Albums Chart. A Philly Special Christmas donated over $1.25M to local charities including Children’s Crisis Treatment Center and fulfilled the wish lists of Philadelphia School District teachers via Donors Choose. Following the runaway success of their debut LP, Philadelphia Eagles’ Jason Kelce, Lane Johnson, and Jordan Mailata reunited with producer Charlie Hall (The War on Drugs) and executive producer Connor Barwin (Vera Y Records) to release their second holiday album, A Philly Special Christmas Special on December 1, 2023. Recorded during the NFL off season and comprised of 10 holiday classics and an original tune by Jason Kelce, the album also features local musicians such as Patti Labelle, Amos Lee, Waxahatchee, Zach Miller (Dr. Dog), The Silver Ages and more as well as Philadelphia Eagles players & announcers and a feature from Travis Kelce. On November 22, The Philly Specials will release their third Christmas LP 'A Philly Special Christmas Party' featuring exciting collaborators such as Boyz II Men, Mt. Joy, Stevie Nicks and more. The project will also be released on limited edition vinyl. Beneficiaries include Children's Crisis Treatment Center and Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.
