Hunter Hayes Readies Holiday EP Due This Month

/by

Hunter Hayes is set to release his new holiday EP, Evergreen Christmas Sessions, on Friday (Nov. 7).

On the project, Hayes reimagines four beloved holiday favorites including “Winter Wonderland,” “Run Run Rudolph,” “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” and “Silent Night.”

“Creating this project felt really special and full circle, as I revisited some holiday music I recorded as a kid,” shares Hayes. “We happened to have a few days off during tour, and this was the first time we were able to record together as a band. We wanted to try something different, so we gave the project a ‘calm Christmas’ vibe with a chill, dreamy, jazz-inspired take on the season. For me, Christmas music has always been about spending time with the people you love, and I hope this project becomes part of those moments.”

This announcement follows Hayes’ recent collaboration with a cappella group Straight No Chaser on their new holiday single, “Christmas Is Different.” He is set to perform at Louisiana Christmas Day on Nov. 30.

Evergreen Christmas Sessions Track List:
1. “Winter Wonderland”
2. “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas”
3. “Run Run Rudolph”
4. “Silent Night”

Treaty Oak Revival will release their third studio album, West Texas Degenerate, on Nov. 28.

The new collection is an unvarnished portrait of life on the edge in boom-and-bust West Texas, capturing the chaos, heartbreak, addiction, and resilience of the hard-working people of that area. The record tells the stories of people just trying to get by, fall in love and make sense of the wreckage, and includes the band’s recent singles “Happy Face,” which has already amassed 83 million streams, and “Bad State of Mind” which has 75 million streams.

“This album is about growth, coming of age, overcoming adversity, and the concept that even though your hometown may not define you, it will always be a part of you, wherever you may land,” says lead vocalist/lyricist Sam Canty. “We want this record to bring Treaty Oak and small town West Texas living to the world.”

Treaty Oak Revival is set to top the bill at Red Bull Jukebox in Nashville on Nov. 15 after recently wrapping a tour in Australia. They’ll return to the U.S. for a string of shows and festival appearances through the end of the year and into 2026, including a special hometown performance in Odessa, Texas at Ector County Coliseum on Dec. 11.

The band has quickly become one of the most explosive forces in country and rock with over 1.4 billion global streams, 6.8 million monthly Spotify listeners, two self-released Gold albums (No Vacancy and Have A Nice Day), and five Platinum singles.

Grammy-nominated artist Danny Gokey has signed with Red Street Records.

Gokey’s first release under the Red Street partnership will be his upcoming original Christmas song, “The Moment The Whole World Changed,” out Nov. 7.

The three-time K-LOVE Male Vocalist of the Year and Dove Award winner first became a favorite of millions of fans as a Top 3 finalist on Season Eight of American Idol. Following Idol, Gokey dropped his first album, My Best Days, and has since celebrated five No. 1s including his followup releases Hope In Front of Me, Rise, Haven’t Seen It Yet, Jesus People and holiday albums, Christmas Is Here and The Greatest Gift.

With singles like “We All Need Jesus,” “Love God Love People,” Gold-certified “Hope In Front of Me,” “Tell Your Heart to Beat Again” and “Haven’t Seen It Yet,” Danny Gokey has cemented his place on the radio charts with multi-week, multi-chart-topping runs in the U.S., Canada, and now Latin markets with the releases of Spanish singles and collaborations.

“Danny and I have been friends for many years,” shares Red Street Records Founder and CEO Jay DeMarcus. “I’ve enjoyed watching him take his career to new levels, and I’m beyond thrilled to be his partner in what I’m sure is going to be his best chapter yet. Danny is one of the greatest singers, not only in the Christian format, but in any genre, and I can’t wait for everyone to hear the music he’s been working on. This is a big day for Red Street!”

“I’m incredibly excited about this new chapter,” says Gokey. “After years in this industry, I’ve learned that it’s about partnering with people who truly believe in your vision and are invested in the journey. Jay Demarcus, Jason McArthur and the team at Red Street get what I’m trying to do musically and in ministry, and having that focused support means everything. I’ve always believed that music is more than entertainment; it’s about reaching people with hope and encouragement when they need it most. This isn’t just about making music; it’s about making music that matters and reaching people in a deeper way. I can’t wait to see what we build together.”

Gokey is wrapping up his 20-city “The Ignite Tour” with Mac Powell and Colton Dixon while gearing up to join Natalie Grant for the 10th anniversary of their co-headlining “Celebrate Christmas Tour, which is packed with reimagined holiday favorites and powerful worship-filled moments and kicks off November 22 in New York City at Carnegie Hall.
