On December 23, 2022, The Philly Specials released their debut, A Philly Special Christmas, and its limited vinyl pressing sold out immediately. The record reached four Top 10 spots on various Billboard Music Charts including No. 1 on the Compilation Albums Chart. The album donated $1.25M to local charities including Children’s Crisis Treatment Center and fulfilled the wish lists of Philadelphia School District teachers via Donors Choose.
On December 1, 2023, following the 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 album, A Philly Special Christmas Special. Comprised of 10 holiday classics plus an original by Jason Kelce, the album also featured Patti Labelle, Amos Lee, Waxahatchee, Zach Miller (Dr. Dog), The Silver Ages, as well as Philadelphia Eagles players & announcers and a feature from Travis Kelce.
For their third album, which will be released on November 24, 2024, The Philly Specials returns with more holiday classics, collaborating this time with Stevie Nicks, Boyz II Men, and Devon Gilfillian, among many others. The album is available for pre-ordering now.
