HOME FREE TO RELEASE FULL OF (EVEN MORE) CHEER ON NOVEMBER 11; A NEWLY-EXPANDED EDITION OF THEIR POPULAR CHRISTMAS ALBUM
Already in the holiday spirit, Columbia Records’ all-vocal country group Home Free will release FULL OF (EVEN MORE) CHEER on November 11. The newly expanded edition of their popular Christmas album FULL OF CHEER is available now for pre-order and will be available at all digital retailers. Fans can pick up a physical copy exclusively at Walmart with autographed copies ready now for pre-order at Walmart.com.
Produced by longtime collaborator Darren Rust, FULL OF (EVEN MORE) CHEER is a country-flavored assortment of Christmas songs ranging from classics such as “O Holy Night” and “I’ll Be Home For Christmas” to playful tunes including “Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer” and original track “Full of Cheer.” It showcases Home Free’s rich and tight harmonies, bass Tim Foust’s wide-ranging deep tone and Adam Rupp’s world-class beatboxing. Featured on this extended version are two new tracks, including their rendition of Zac Brown Bands’ “Colder Weather” and the classic “How Great Thou Art,” as well as the newest group member, baritone Adam Chance’s vocals.
"I was so honored when the band asked me to join them last spring. I didn’t see it coming. And just a few months later, I found myself in the studio cutting Christmas vocals. Who doesn’t love celebrating Christmas in July? I can’t wait for everyone to hear this album and hope they love it as much as I do,” shares Chance. “And, I’m really looking forward to my first full-blown tour with the guys and all that is on the horizon for Home Free. I’m constantly blown away by their fans' support and dedication. Come check us out live this year. I promise it’ll be an unbelievable show!"
Approaching the impressive 100 million views mark on YouTube, Home Free continues the momentum with their awe-inspiring video for “How Great Thou Art.” Filmed in the Swiss Alps while overseas for a headline show at the European Country Festival, the video was directed by Fifgen Films’ Reilly Zamer, McKenzie Zamber and Jimmy Bates.
