RECORDS Nashville artist-songwriter George Birge adds a dash of smoldering Soul to a Christmastime classic with his first holiday release, sharing his take on “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.” Listen here.

Opening with the gentle strains of acoustic guitar and feathery drums, the Daniel Ross-produced fan-favorite soon builds to include an electric guitar solo and icy steel – a crisp, timeless presentation with a noticeably Country twist. But while it retains its sense of sophisticated comfort, Birge also gifts the glowing track his untamable Texas-meets-Nashville edge. 

Allowing his dynamic vocal to flicker and soar like a rolling Yule log fire, the hitmaker captures a heartwarming message (penned by Hugh Martin and Ralph Blane) in renewed vitality – an ideal seasonal soundtrack for a long-overdue reunion, and the new beginning that’s sure to follow.

Recently releasing the in-demand “Missin’ Tonight,” while his current single “Cowboy Songs” is Top 10 at Country radio (off his Cowboy Songs EP), the headline-making newcomer has a slew of tour dates booked through the end of the year, including a headlining gig at Chicago’s famous Joe’s on Weed St. tonight (11/1).
