Brett Eldredge is the latest artist to give fans a special holiday gift this year with his new Christmas album, Mr. Christmas. The project includes beloved classics alongside two never-before-heard originals, including the title track which is available everywhere now.
Written by Eldredge and frequent collaborator Ross Copperman, title track “Mr. Christmas” showcases the singer-songwriter’s vocals backed by strings, a warm big band sound, and pops of jingle bells, giving the listener an infusion of holiday spirit.
“Mr. Christmas is something that I’ve been planning out for quite a while,” explains Eldredge. “This album is so much fun and full of joy and magic. From the album cover, you can find the magic of Mr. Christmas standing in the windowfront, looking out just like the old stores on the Rockefeller Plaza in New York City and people passing by in the window. We captured that nostalgic, classic feel that Christmas brings and mixed it with the soulful side of my music influences. It’s got a lot of heart and magic–it’s a special one for people to hear.”
Mr. Christmas follows the 2020 release of his original duet with Kelly Clarkson, “Under the Mistletoe,” and his 2016 Christmas album, Glow, which peaked at No. 2 on the country charts upon release. The project also inspired a single live Christmas show in Nashville that has grown into the annual “Glow Live” holiday tour which is set to return this winter with stops in major cities across the country, including back-to-back nights in Nashville, Boston, Chicago and New York City.
“Getting to take ‘Glow Live’ on the road again after unfortunately having to miss it last year gives me so much joy, especially knowing that this tour and this music could bring a lot of joy to a lot of people that need it right now,” Eldredge adds. “My hope is that attending these shows with friends and family can be a tradition people look forward to every year for many years to come. I cannot wait to get back out there because performing these songs makes me so happy and I just hope to share that feeling with everyone in the audience as well.”
Fan club members will have early access to ticket pre-sales beginning Sept. 21. Fans can also catch Eldredge on tour this fall with his Good Day Tour which kicked off Thursday, Sept. 16.
