Young’s It Must Be Christmas to release October 14
Nashville, Tenn. – CMA Musical Event of the Year nominee CHRIS YOUNG is already celebrating the season as he gears up for the release of It Must Be Christmas this Friday, October 14. He’s also helping to make the holidays a little brighter for disadvantaged children as he teams up with Toys For Tots, a 69-year national charitable program run by the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve, to collect donations along his headlining “I’m Comin’ Over Tour” stops November 17 – December 10. Concertgoers are encouraged to bring a new, unwrapped toy or book to one of nine tour dates with gifts being distributed to less fortunate children in the local community.
