CRAIG CAMPBELL KICKED OFF THE HOLIDAY SEASON WITH CAPTIVATING PERFORMANCE AT THE 69th ANNUAL MACY’S GREAT TREE LIGHTING
RED BOW Records’ Craig Campbell kicked off the holiday season with a captivating performance at the 69th Annual Macy’s Great Tree Lighting in Atlanta, GA on Sunday (11/20). His set featured his hits “Outskirts of Heaven” and “Keep Them Kisses Comin’” and festive covers including Alan Jackson’s “I Only Want You For Christmas” and the classic “White Christmas.” As a Georgia native, Campbell was thrilled to join in this flagship event that has become a state tradition for nearly 7 decades. Making the night even brighter, the singer-songwriter shared the stage with award-winning artists Aloe Blacc and Michelle Williams for the big finale of “O Holy Night” complete with spectacular fireworks and tree lighting.
Next stop for Campbell is Chicago, IL, where he will perform his Top 40-and-climbing single “Outskirts of Heaven” at the 83rd annual McDonald’s Thanksgiving Parade, airing live on November 24 at 8:00a CT on WGN 9 Chicago or WGN America.
Campbell made his national TV debut earlier this year with “Outskirts of Heaven” (Campbell, Dave Turnball) on NBC’s TODAY and the powerful song has racked up rave reviews with fans praising; “brought me to tears,” “gave me chills,” and claimed “this is what country music is supposed to sound like.”
Following 2015’s “Tomorrow Tonight,” Campbell has been in the studio working on his RED BOW Records debut album. Previously sharing the stage with Randy Houser, Alan Jackson, The Band Perry, Jerrod Niemann, and Justin Moore, he is currently playing shows nationwide and working with the Grand Ole Opry on a tour in honor of the USO’s 75th anniversary with more details to be announced soon.
