Black River Christian’s Hannah Kerr is releasing her first holiday EP, Emmanuel, on Oct. 20. The six-song project produced by Mark Miller will be available in both digital and physical formats. Emmanuel includes seasonal favorites like “White Christmas,” “O Come O Come Emmanuel,” and “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas,” and two originals, “Emmanuel” co-written by Kerr, Andy Gullahorn and Jill Phillips, and “Christmas Eve in Bethlehem,” which she penned with Jason Earley.
“I’m so excited to release this EP,” Kerr said. “Christmas is my favorite holiday and always such a good reminder of the nearness of our Savior. I hope these songs bring peace and joy to everyone who listens to them. I’m praying that we will all be reminded of Emmanuel–our God who was with us on that first Christmas in Bethlehem, and who is with us now.”
Prior to heading out on the Everything or Nothing Tour with Carrollton, Kerr visited Seacrest Studios at Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt in partnership with Love Your Melon, a non-profit program that helps fight pediatric cancer and provides support for families of children battling cancer. Kerr spent time with many of the children and was able to share some songs with them, including her single “Warrior,” which is currently top 30 on the charts and rising.
