With the holidays quickly approaching, Lucas Hoge delivers a timeless take on the Christmas classic “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas,” available on all digital streaming platforms today. Produced by Kent Wells (Dolly Parton), Hoge’s take – backed by his warm baritone – gives the holiday standard a soulful swagger while maintaining the charm of the original, which was co-written by Hugh Martin and Ralph Blaine for Judy Garland’s 1944 movie, Meet Me In St. Louis.

“As we embrace the holiday spirit, I am thrilled to announce my rendition of the classic ‘Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas,’ a timeless song that captures the warmth and joy of this season,” said Hoge. “I hope my upbeat version brings a little more love and light into your celebrations this year.”

Hoge has long-celebrated the holiday season with annual releases, as well as a series of shows leading up to the international December 25 highlight. This year, he’ll be hosting and headlining the Uncle Nearest Distillery’s annual tree lighting on November 30, performing a hometown Christmas show in Hubbell, Neb. on December 14th, and another Christmas show in Lake Havasu, Ariz. on December 21. In addition to his live shows, Hoge’s past release “Christmas Is Here” will be featured in two UPtv holiday original movies: A Bluegrass Christmas and A Country Music Christmas.

Hoge has also been enlisted to host American Country Network’s inaugural Christmas Special, featuring performances by Hoge along with Ty Herndon, Craig Campbell, Jonathan McReynolds, Runaway June, Harper Grace, Brandon Davis, Annie Bosko, and Ryan Larkins. The special will air on the network once a day every day from December 1-December 25.
