NASHVILLE, Tenn. (December
1, 2023) – Just in time for the holiday
season, Flat River
Band recruited GRAMMY® award-winning Grand Ole Opry
member Jeannie Seely to
unleash their festive original song, "Christmas Time".
Written by
Chad Sitze of Flat River Band and produced by GRAMMY® Award-winner Tre' Corley, the song
paints a visual of a joyous holiday season, with bells ringing, kids singing
and smiles spreading everywhere. Through lyrics like "Now I read that same
story / To my four little boys / My only prayer / Is they one day share / The
true meaning of Christmas Joy," this heartfelt holiday track reflects a
tradition of passing down the profound story of a sacrificial man. The father
reads it annually, hoping his children will one day grasp the true essence of
Christmas joy within the narrative.
“It has been
so exciting to watch the Flat River Band reach for, and accomplish new heights
in their career! So I was even more excited to be asked to record with them on
a new Christmas song describing all the things we love about Christmas. It also
shows what we love about Flat River Band!" shared GRAMMY® winning artist
Jeannie Seely.
Flat River
Band shared, “What an honor to join forces with Miss Country Soul Jeannie
Seely. She has still got it! What an amazing woman!”
