Brett Eldredge drops new Christmas LP, to launch ‘GLOW’ holiday tour

Brett Eldredge performs at the 2014 CMA Country Christmas at the Bridgestone Arena on November 7^ 2014 in Nashville^ Tennessee.

Brett Eldredge has released his third Christmas album ‘Merry Christmas (Welcome to the Family)‘.  Eldredge also will launch the Glow: Welcome to The Family Tour, set to begin on November 29th.

Eldredge about the new album’s title: “I had a story in my head of introducing a stranger to my really wacky experience of going home for the holidays and meeting all of the interesting, crazy, beautiful, and awesome characters in my family. I had just experienced another Christmas with 50 people in my house. We opened presents, went to Christmas service, and everybody was sleeping in the attic. At the end of the song, I introduce everyone to my family, everyone from my brother and mother to Uncle Jim and Aunt Margo.”

The new collection of eight holiday originals includes a duet with Kelly Clarkson titled “Sweet December,” which is available now.  Says Eldredge: “After singing ‘Under the Mistletoe’ together, I knew there was no one else in the world I wanted to sing this song with…Kelly’s voice has this soulful retro feeling. I’ve never done a Christmas song in this style, and I really love it.”  Clarkson adds, “I’ve been fortunate enough to record songs with Brett, go see him live, and have him on my show! He has one of my favorite voices and I will sing with him anytime, anywhere! I hope people dig ‘Sweet December’ as much as we do!”
