The musicians are playing Christmas songs.

I'm in Tumbleweed and it's a ShootFest. I'm trying to make it to the bar without a Christmas carbine to the head. While the carnage continues outside I'ma gonna try and get served a whiskey, find a seat and listen to the goddamn pianist play me a Christmas carol.
:D

Try going to the general store in Valentine. You can hear the tunes through the paper thin walls from the safety of the store.

Rode past an NPC last night who was strumming Away in a Manger on his guitar.

It's great isn't it. But nowhere was safe that night.
Silent night?
No!

You're right no-where's safe Mary, I come into the RDR world to get away from the Tinselfest in the real one. I thought RDR was about creating a realistic, believable Wild West.

 

Christmas music in the saloons just spoils RDR2.

They'd most likely have known and played some of the old carols back in the day. Some go back a long way. But haaa, I wonder if there's an alternative bar out there somewhere.
A violinist sometimes turns up outside in Saint Denis. I wonder if they'll put on a show for crimbo.

Edit: That violinist, I now drunkenly remember, was in story-mode.
