Nashville, TN (October 8, 2008) – Ring the Bells, Travis Cottrell’s debut Christmas project, has only been released a day and has truly struck a chord with listeners of all ages, genres and musical preferences.

Rapidly reaching #3 on the iTunes Holiday Music Chart, Ring the Bells is a combination of both original and classic Christmas songs, all brought to life by Cottrell’s pure, powerful vocals and the production and classic vision of Brown Bannister. This project truly celebrates the birth of our Savior and communicates a clear message of the true meaning of Christmas.

Highlights on the project include a duet with Curb Records’ GMA Dove Award 2008 Female Vocalist of the Year, Natalie Grant on the title track “Ring the Bells,” which was co-written by Ronnie Freeman and GMA Dove Award 2008 Songwriter of the Year, Cindy Morgan. The song will impact radio in November on multiple formats, and promises to become an instant holiday classic. Three of the songs, “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing,” “O Come, O Come Emmanuel” and “O Holy Night” feature the impeccable backing of the London Symphony Orchestra, creating an epic, breathtaking musical experience.

“If you buy just one holiday record this year, this is it. Ring the Bells is the perfect amalgamation of Cottrell’s artistic abilities and distinct call, which has an overwhelming effect on the listener. Some may call it goosebumps." - CCM magazine

With Ring the Bells, Cottrell has partnered with Operation Freedom Bell, which brings hope, encouragement and Bibles to U.S. Soldiers who are serving overseas. The purchase of a solid-brass Freedom Bell provides an American solider with a “Thank You To Our American Heroes” New Testament with Psalms and Proverbs. Both the consumer and the solider will also receive video downloads from LtCol Oliver North and Beth Moore, along with a MP3 single from Travis Cottrell. Find out how to participate in this great outreach and learn more about the campaign by visiting http://www.operationfreedombell.org.

Both the Ring the Bells CD and the Operation Freedom Bell are available in stores now through Indelible Creative Group / Word Entertainment. Cottrell is currently touring with Beth Moore Living Proof Live, and will be performing in December on Compassion International’s Gloria tour with Cindy Morgan and Shaun Groves.
