Nashville, TN - November 23, 2010 – Dave Barnes' newly released holiday CD, Very Merry Christmas, has been receiving acclaim since it hit stores and online earlier this month, courtesy of Razor & Tie. To spread the holiday cheer and to kick off the holiday season, Barnes' song "Very Merry Christmas" is the free iTunes Discovery Download this week.
Also obtaining much-deserved acclaim is Barnes' music video for "Christmas Tonight." This talented and soulful songwriter and performer's video not only debuted on Perez Hilton, but it also been featured on Huffington Post's entertainment front page and OK! Magazine's website.
"Christmas Tonight" features the guest vocals of Hillary Scott from Lady Antebellum dueting with Barnes. The music video was filmed in Los Angeles and was directed by Alex Beh and guest stars Beh along with movie and television actress Jennifer Love Hewitt. "Christmas Tonight" can currently be viewed on Barnes' You Tube channel.
Next week Dave Barnes kicks off the Very Merry Neighborly Christmas Tour, partnering with Mocha Club (Mochaclub.org) and their Clean Water project area to help fund the building of wells in the Sudan for refugess of the Darfur genocide. Barnes is a long-time supporter of Mocha Club, a generation of activists giving up the cost of two mochas, or $7 a month, to fund relief and development projects in Africa. Their vision is to provide a way for people who don’t have hundreds or thousands of dollars to make a real difference in Africa. To find out more, and to join Dave Barnes' team, click here.
