Brandon Davis is doing his part to help ring in the holidays. The Chattanooga native performed two songs, both “December” and “One More Christmas Eve,” as part of American Country Network’s inaugural American Country Christmas special, which also included performances by Ty Herndon, Lucas Hoge, Jonathan McReynolds and more.
The father of four, with two on the way, recently released “December,” a nostalgic tune that became a labor of love from him for his loyal fans.
“There’s so much life that has been poured into this song,” Davis said in a Facebook live video. “Through stories, through really just thinking back through the years of Christmas with my family, and the traditions that got shared and passed down, and the ones that are still getting passed down from generation to generation, and new ones that we’ve made and created.”
When Davis released “December,” he said he intentionally wrote it to relate to everyone, regardless of their experiences with the holiday season.
“‘December,’ obviously it’s a Christmas song, but it’s one that we really tried to connect on a different emotional level with, and make it relatable to everyone, while at the same time sharing some very personal stories,” Davis shared. “I wrote this with Dan Agee, and he is a mastermind of a producer, but a heck of a songwriter, and I’m very honored to put this one out, alongside of him. It’s a song that we’ve crafted around stories that we feel like are going to register with family traditions that y’all have known through your Christmas experiences, from the time you were a kid until now, and maybe some that remind you of different memories and different stories that always got told, or maybe it’s stories that you’re now telling that someone else used to tell to you.
“What’s special about ‘December’ is that it’s about not just those stories, but the person who told them,” he added. “And that was what I was really excited about … We tried to take those stories, and not just talk about the memories that were made in them, but talk about the people that were telling them.”
“One More Christmas Eve” was included on Davis’ Silverado Santa EP, released in 2023.
Davis and his wife, Destiny, announced she was pregnant in the fall. The journey to adding to their family was a challenge, and included a devastating loss before finding out she was carrying two girls.
“This journey has been nothing short of a rollercoaster,” she said. “From our first IVF appointment nearly two years ago to our pregnancy and loss back in the spring of our baby girl, to now officially being pregnant again. We are so very thankful for God’s blessings and His timing.”
American Country Christmas will be available through December 25 on Apple TV, Amazon Fire, Roku, Android and iPhone, via the American Country Network app. Find more information at ACNCountry.com.
