RINGS IN THE SEASON WITH A MESSAGE OF HOPE AND CHEER
WITH HOLIDAY TUNE

Track Available on iTunes, Spotify and Most Digital Retail & Streaming Outlets

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Nov 2018) – Irish-born, country music recording artist and global entertainer Mags (Mags McCarthy) celebrated the “the reason for the season,” and shared her hope and cheer with her original holiday tune titled, “I Never Believed In Santa Claus (Until You Came To Town).

 Co-written alongside Michael Anthony (and produced by Anthony/Emerald Field Productions), the track was distributed to country radio (Nov 8, 2018) and made available via all digital retail outlets (Apple Music/Spotify/Amazon - https://digital-delivery-services.lnk.to/MYycOPR)

Recorded in Nashville, the musical composition is in keeping with the traditional sounds of country holiday classics. Featuring Mags' performance on fiddle, the upbeat, two-step shuffle renews hope and recalls that love is the most precious and giving present of all.

The single was promoted across Europe on the Promotional Hotdisc (Dec #240) and debuted at #24 on the Hotdisc Top 40 (chart dated Dec 9, 2018) and climbed and peaked at #16 where it held for 2-weeks (chart dated Dec 23, 2018)

A fine upbeat, humorous original Christmas toe-tapper which bounces along real nice.

Looking out from a window on a cold wintry scene, pondering life, as children’s smiling faces take in the wonder of the season the surprise arrival of Santa lifts the spirits from a joyless existence from a once disbeliever to bring forth laughs, happiness and shake off sadness and those painful Christmas blues! As the holiday begins to fade away there is hope that the love for life will continue each and every day.

THE HOLIDAYS, THEY COME AND GO
NOW I LOVE THAT TIME OF YEAR
STILL HOPING I MIGHT CATCH A GLIMPSE
OF THE ONE WHO IS SO DEAR
YOUR GIFT WAS NOT SOMETHING
THAT WILL BREAK - OR FADE AWAY
IT'S THE KIND OF LOVE WE ALL SHOULD HAVE
EACH AND EVERY DAY 

"I believe, the spirit of Christmas and the hope that the Season, and Santa, bring should be a sentiment that we share with one another all year long," Mags said. "This tune is a gentle reminder of the joyful heart that Santa represents, and the meaningful gestures of unwavering kindness and generosity that we should share as our daily gift to one another."

The release of the holiday tune continues Mags’ momentum at country radio. Mags released her debut single, “Strong Enough,” which met with overwhelming welcome and applause from country music fans and ranked in the TOP 50 on the MusicRow Breakout Chart (November 2018). Mags began her musical arts pursuit as a four-year-old studying Irish dancing. Catering to an undeniable musical hunger, Mags expanded her curriculum to explore and learn a variety of dance styles as well as musical instruments with primary concentration in violin. Courted by the world-renowned Irish dance troupe, Rhythm Of The Dance, the UCC (University of College Cork) student became a global performer nearly overnight. The 29-year-old singer-songwriter and composer has since canvassed 40-plus countries, performing before millions as the principal lead of the dance troupe and a solo-touring artist.

On Tuesday, November 13, 2018, Mags was scheduled to perform before a number of prominent country radio stations at the fall Music Row Live radio remote to be held at The Tracking Room in Nashville. In early December, her tour schedule took her to Pittsburgh where she will madee a special appearance to perform in the Christmas Wonderland Concert at Byham Theater, Pittsburgh, PA. on Saturday, December 1, 2018.
