Trisha Yearwood Brings Holiday Cheer to Springfield with “Christmastime” Tour
SPRINGFIELD – Country music icon Trisha Yearwood is spreading Christmas cheer with her “Christmastime with Trisha Yearwood: 12 Days of Christmas Tour,” making a stop at Springfield Symphony Hall this Saturday at 7 p.m.
The Grammy-winning artist is touring in support of her new holiday album, “Christmastime,” produced by Don Was and featuring lush orchestral arrangements by David Campbell. The album includes fresh takes on Christmas classics like “Christmastime Is Here” and “Blue Christmas,” as well as a reimagining of “Pure Imagination” and a new original co-written with husband Garth Brooks, “Merry Christmas, Valentine.”
“Christmastime” marks Yearwood’s first solo Christmas album in nearly 30 years, and she is excited to perform these songs live in an intimate setting with local symphonies. The tour, which kicked off in Nashville, includes stops in major cities like Newark, Atlanta, and Detroit before concluding in Louisville, Kentucky. The Springfield Symphony Orchestra will join Yearwood on stage.
Yearwood said she has had a running list of Christmas songs she has wanted to record and is ready to share her love of the holidays with fans. She chose secular songs for the new album but included the Shaker hymn “Simple Gifts” as a tribute to her mother.
Yearwood described recording the album live with an orchestra as “terrifying and wonderful” and emphasized the special energy created when singers and musicians feed off each other’s performances. The tour promises a traditional symphony show, with the second half featuring orchestral arrangements of some of Yearwood’s classic hits. Tickets are available at symphonyhallspringfield.com, priced at $71.29, $81.54, and $103.46.
