NewSong and Crowder are teaming up to celebrate the holidays with the “Very Merry Christmas Tour.” Presented by Holt International, the tour, which will also feature Sarah Reeves, is slated to hit 12 cities in December, including Cincinnati; Chesapeake, Va.; and Marion, Ill; among other markets, before wrapping Dec. 17 in Clinton, Tenn.
“Our ‘Very Merry Christmas Tour’ gives us a great opportunity to remind everyone about the real meaning of Christmas,” said Billy Goodwin, NewSong founding member. “When we do ‘The Christmas Shoes’ live, it’s always a very emotional time in the concert. I think all of us can relate to losing a loved one during the holiday season, and this song points to the hope we have for an eternity in Heaven with Jesus and being reunited with those we loved here on earth.”
During the holiday shows, NewSong will perform favorites from their Christmas albums, 2001’s The Christmas Shoes, and 2006’s The Christmas Hope, and last year’s The Best Christmas Ever!, as well as their hit, “The Christmas Shoes,” which inspired the New York Times best-selling novel of the same name by Donna VanLiere, as well as the CBS television movie, The Christmas Shoes, based on the book.
