Additionally, Barnes' single "Christmas Tonight" made its debut on R&R's Mainstream AC chart, hitting at No. 29. Five other Barnes' holiday tracks picked up significant adds at Christian AC radio last week.

As previously reported, "Christmas Tonight" features guest vocals from Lady Antebellum's Hillary Scott and its accompanying music video stars actress Jennifer Love Hewitt. The video has obtained much attention since it posted on Barnes' YouTube page, appearing on Variety's website, Perez Hilton, Huffington Post's entertainment front page and OK! Magazine's website. In addition, "Christmas Tonight" was just added to rotation on CMT, CMT Pure and CMT online.

He has previously toured with notable acts including John Mayer, Taylor Swift, Lady Antebellum, Bonnie Raitt, and One Republic. After wrapping his Christmas tour, Barnes will continue to tour in 2011 in support of What We Want, What We Get. With his first seasonal project, Very Merry Christmas showcases the quintessential Dave Barnes – hip, classy, and romantic with a solid dose of his traditional Southern upbringing.
