Top Original Country Music Christmas Songs

/in /by

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! As Thanksgiving is behind us and the magic of the holiday season begins to fill the air, what better way to get into the spirit than turning up that holiday music? In the list below, we’re taking a look at original Christmas songs from some of our favorite country music artists.

 

 

“It’s Not Christmas”
by Brown & Gray

“It’s Not Christmas” is an emotional and heartfelt ode to one’s significant other claiming despite everything that makes it feel like Christmas, “It’s not Christmas til you come around”.  The beautiful lyrics and soft vocals make for the perfect Christmas love song. Brown & Gray joined NYCountry Swag to record the song for a LIVE Swag Session, check out the video above.

 

“Glow”
by Brett Eldredge

“Glow” immediately hits you with the ever-cheerful jazz, of so many classic Christmas songs. It’s a new take on the timeless Christmas love song, filled with flattering lyrics and holiday metaphors about a glowing love interest, “Your looks are evergreen/ Sweet as the angels as they sing.”

 

“Gold and Green”
by Sugarland

“Gold and Green” is a delicate acoustic tune that provides a description of many elements that create Christmas magic- lit up sparkling Christmas trees, tinsel in windows, flickering candles, packages and presents, children, carols, confetti, and wishes. The reiteration that “Everything looks better in gold and green,” emphasizes the extra details put into the Christmas season.

 

“You Make It Feel Like Christmas”
by Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton

“You Make It Feel Like Christmas” is a dance-worthy song that shows gratitude toward your lover. They brought love and joy back into your life and because of them, you are experiencing all of the wonderful elements of Christmas again- “Sweet gingerbread made with molasses/My heart skipped and I reacted.”

 

“Present Without A Bow”
by Kacey Musgraves and Leon Bridges

“Present Without A Bow” is a great way to express appreciation to those you care about most because without them holidays would not be the same, it would be “like a present without a bow”. The joy and cheer of the holidays spent with those you love, not material things, is what makes the season special as the song gracefully explains.

 

“Candy Cane Christmas”
by Darius Rucker

“Candy Cane Christmas” is a sweet song detailing a Christmas Eve and morning that so many know all too well, like it is a story right out of your own living room. “Angels sittin’ high upon a tree/Watchin’ over presents patiently/Milk and cookies on a plate/Santa Clause is on his way/The kids should be fast asleep”. The familiar scene can provide nostalgia of Christmas’ past to some and a reminder of something to look forward to for others.

 

Check out these tracks along with a bunch of our other favorite country Christmas songs on the playlist below and make sure to give the playlist a follow as we update with new tunes throughout the holiday season!

Hoda and Kathie Lee on ABC’s TODAY, invited rising country star, Jimmie Allen back to the show for another segment entitled ‘Guys Tell All,” as well as a special performance. The singer-songwriter, who recently dropped his debut album Mercury Lane, and currently has the number 1 song with “Best Shot”, has previously appeared on TODAY both as a co-host and a performer.

Allen sat on the all male panel with reality star, Ben Higgins, comedian, Chuck Nice, and celebrity gym trainer, Don Saldino. The segment is geared towards the idea of getting an inside look into a man’s head. The segment is all about women getting their relationship questions answered from a man’s perspective. Hoda introduced the men stating, “We’ve wrangled a few of our favorite men to figure out what was really going on in their heads- in a segment we like to call ‘Guys Tell All’.”

During the short panel session, the always humble and down to earth, Allen, shared his feelings on continuing to follow an ex on Instagram, as well as, if someone should date a man in between jobs. The singer shared a quick anecdote in regards to his question, “I dated this girl. She unfollowed me like the day we broke up, right. I”m glad I didn’t know- I found out after we broke up, that her guy best friend, they’re dating now. Dude even stayed at my house. Don’t get me into that.” It was one of those real moments that the entertainer often delivers, which makes fans, other artists, and people in general connect with him. Check out the video here.

Immediately following the ‘Guys Tell All’ segment, Hoda and Kathie Lee introduced Allen’s musical performance to the audience, as part of the Citi Concert Series. “He spent years in the country music scene trying to get his name and voice heard,” stated Lee, “and after giving it his ‘Best Shot’ Jimmie Allen soared to the top of the charts. This week Jimmie celebrated two weeks in a row as the Number 1 most played song on country radio, and he’s back to serenade us with his new song ‘Like You Do.’”

Right before playing the track off his debut album, Allen shared how he feels about his recent success with the ladies, “You know, it’s one of those things where you dream of something for so long, and I’m so thankful. I’m mostly happy because I get to honestly look my son in his eyes and say if you work hard enough and are good to people, eventually you’ll get your opportunity to make your dreams happen.”

Check out Allen’s impressive vocals and fun dance moves in the clip below.

 

Allen, who was named a 2018 NYCountry Swag Artist to Watch and also featured during one of our Live Swag Sessions, will head hit the road on Scotty McCreery’s ‘Seasons Change Tour,’ beginning in Dallas, Texas this week. New York Country Music Fans can catch the show this January in Long Island. Allen will also serve as support on select dates of Kane Brown’s 2019 ‘Live Forever Tour.’ Head to jimmieallenmusic.com for tickets and more information.

Tucker Beathard Releases Music Video for “Leave Me Alone”

Tucker Beathard first entered the country music scene back in 2016, when he had mainstream success with his debut single, “Rock On”.  Currently, the singer-songwriter decided to hone his creative freedom, as an independent artist.  Beathard will be dropping his debut full-length album, Nobody’s Everything, on November 30th.  The artist gave fans a preview of one of the tracks on the album, releasing a music video for his song “Leave Me Alone.”

Beathard shared with Rolling Stone his inspiration for the song and his state of mind, after relinquishing a working relationship with his former label, stating, “I was kind of in a funk, seeing people you thought had your back leave and lose faith in you, and feeling like you had this pressure. I was pushed to the emotional limit, but that song broadened my horizons as a songwriter, in terms of just melodically yelling something and tapping into a whole new thing.”

The music video features Beathard pouring his heart out, playing guitar, in an empty venue, with clips mixed in of the singer releasing his emotions as he breaks items in a small room. Both the music video and the song evoke a different type of message, as the lyrics are a plea to an ex-lover to let go of the relationship, so that he can move on and grieve the emotional turmoil. The fresh new sound is sure to resonate with country music fans. The entertainer co-wrote the song, along with the 8 other tracks, slated to be on ‘Part 1’ of the record. Check out the music video below.

The singer-songwriter dedicated his record and the release of the “Leave Me Alone” music video to his “day ones, who’ve stuck with [him],” his loyal fans, via his Twitter. Follow his journey on tuckerbeathard.com, and don’t forget to check back for our first impression review of his debut album out this Friday.

Tips & Tricks for Scoring Tickets to Your Favorite Shows

/in /by

Everyone knows the feeling of finding out that one of your all-time favorite artists are going on tour and coming to a venue near you. First, you experience the overwhelming excitement and “I have to go” feeling. Then, the eventual realization that seems like everyone else also wants to go, hits you. Even if the show is sure to sell out here are some tips and tricks to score tickets to the big show.

  1. Artist E-Newsletters – Subscribing to artist e-newsletters is a great way to find out about tour information. These e-mails usually include show information and pre-sale codes to all subscribers, not just fan club members. Other, unique and exclusive options are also generally announced via e-newsletter. Additionally, if more shows are added to a tour or tickets are added to a specific show you’ll be sure to find out first through these special e-mails.
  2. Venue E-Newsletters – Venues send out their own newsletters and sometimes include venue specific pre-sale dates and codes; plus venues occasionally announce show dates before a whole tour schedule is announced.
  3. Credit Card Pre-sales – Some credit cards partner with ticket sellers to offer pre-sales or exclusive packages to cardmembers before they go on sale to the general public. These offers might be announced last minute and in limited quantities, so be sure to check frequently
  4. Be Prepared – If all else fails, be prepared on the day and time that tickets go on sale. Before the on-sale time create an account or log-in to your account on the ticket seller website, before the on-sale time. Have your credit card information ready and be on the page for the specific tour date you would like to attend, so that when tickets go on-sale all you need to do is refresh the page.
  5. Check Back Later –Worst case, if you fail to get tickets when they go on-sale check verified ticket resellers frequently to see if anything becomes available. Tickets can usually be purchased up to the day of the show, so you might have some last minute luck!

Country Music Proves It’s One Big Family By Supporting Each Other

/in /by

One of the many reasons why we love country music is the camaraderie and love that all of the artists and people who work in the industry have for each other.  Yes, of course, there is competition between labels, artists and songwriters to get the best song to the top of the charts but for the most part, country music is a big family.  So many artists support one another on their big milestones, they use social media to shout out to new artists getting a break or when a song goes to number one.  We love to see the way these artists and their teams react to each other and when something good happens for one artist, it is a celebration amongst the genre.

Most recently, one of our 2018 Artists to Watch and Swag Session Alums Jimmie Allen took over the top spot on the charts with his debut single “Best Shot” from high highly anticipated album Mercury Lane.  Artists like Jake Owen, Kane Brown, Chris Young and many more used their social media platforms to inform their followers about his achievement, possibly turning on an entire group of people who were not aware of Allen’s powerful song to go ahead and take a listen.  With so many artists on the rise and so many ways to hear their music, it is refreshing to see artists on different labels and different management teams take time out of their day to support such a genuine person on their big week.
Take a look below at some of the artists’ posts and the heartfelt captions they wrote…

 

Congratulations on your very first NUMBER ONE Song, Jimmie!
From your friends at NYCountry Swag

Country Music Well Represented in Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade

/in /by

The show must go on; despite the freezing cold weather that took over New York City during the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. The cold winds and record-breaking low temperatures did not stop the crowds from coming out to watch the time-honored American tradition.

The annual parade features some of the biggest stars in music today and luckily for country fans, country music was well represented in this year’s lineup. Leading the trek, from the west side of Central Park to Macy’s flagship store on 34th street was none-other than the Turkey itself, making way for all the performers and balloons to follow.

The first country act to make their way down were Grammy Award winners, Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush, of Sugarland. The duo was on the Ocean Spray float, performing their hit single, “Babe,” featuring vocals from singer-songwriter, Taylor Swift. Nettles and Bush performed the song effortlessly with big smiles on their faces the entire time.

Shortly after, rising country star, Carly Pearce took over the Green Giant float, performing her brand new single, “Closer To You.” She was smiling from ear to ear while dancing in place singing her fresh upbeat tune. Performing in the parade gave Pearce one more item to check off her bucket list as she shared later that day on Instagram.

Following Pearce, was country’s youngest newcomer, Tegan Marie on the Girl Scouts of the USA’s “Building A Better World” float.  Celebrating girls who build a better world through STEM, Tegan Marie was chosen for the honor for embodying the G.I.R.L (Go-getter, Innovator, Risk-taker, Leader)™ spirit. The Warner Music Nashville recording artist performed her bright and positive single “Keep It Lit,” which was the perfect song to inspire young girls everywhere to raise their voices, have an impact, and make the most of every moment.

Next up was multi-platinum selling artist, Kane Brown, performing “Good As You,” off his sophomore album Experiment. He took over South Dakota’s Mount Rushmore’s American Pride float, showcasing his rich vocals while dancing to his uptempo tune.

The final country performer of the parade was 4-time CMA Female Vocalist of the Year, Martina McBride, performing on the Balsam Hill float. She was joined by the Young People’s Chorus of New York City, performing her rendition of “It’s The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year”. The beautiful tune is also featured on her latest release, It’s The Holiday Season. McBride brought the holiday spirit to the parade, surrounding herself with a talented group of kids.

Closing out the celebration was Santa Claus, making it officially the Christmas season. The freezing cold temperatures may have left the performers frozen on their floats, but that didn’t stop them from giving their all and performing for the thousands of people braving the cold with them. Once again, making the country community proud and thankful for all they do!
