(November 22, 2024) – Today, Grammy-winning gospel singer-songwriter Jonathan McReynolds brings a fresh sound to the holiday season with the release of his first-ever Christmas EP, Red & Green, via Life Room Label/Capitol Christian Music Group/Motown Gospel. This collection features an eclectic blend of original songs, offering the perfect soundtrack for festive celebrations or cozy nights by the fire. Known for his signature voice and heartfelt lyrics, McReynolds delivers a unique take on Christmas music with entirely new compositions that capture the spirit of the season.

McReynolds shares, "Christmas comes at the end of the year. And sometimes that year took a lot out of us. The cost and the benefit of being able to put on your red and green and get in the spirit of the season and remind yourself of God’s greatest gift to us gets higher and higher. I wanted to make some original music to reflect that."

This tour offers fans the opportunity to experience McReynolds' original Christmas songs live, creating an unforgettable holiday experience. Tickets are available now: shor.by/jonmcreynolds
