It’s Christmas with John Berry

John Berry has a new outlook, a new address and a new beginning.  The singer-songwriter rose to stardom on the country charts of the 1990s with such mega hits as “Your Love Amazes Me,” “Standing on the Edge of Goodbye” and “She’s Taken a Shine.” His annual Christmas tours brighten the holidays for thousands, as does his electrifying rendition of “O Holy Night.”

“O Holy Night,” which Berry first recorded in 1994 – and has become one of the most-played ‘Songs of the Season’ on Country radio during the holiday period. Other Christmas offerings include “Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow,” “I’ll Be Home For Christmas,” and “Little Drummer Boy.”

His stunning performance of the title track of the 1995 CD O Holy Night that led to his most enduring legacy. John Berry began doing special Christmas tours that year. Last year marked his 18th consecutive holiday concert series. He has also issued three more Christmas-music collections.  “If  ’O Holy Night’ is all that anyone remembers of me, that’s fine with me,” he comments about his perennial Christmas popularity. “It is a truly inspired piece of music.”

Berry’s enduringly powerful performances draw on a lifetime of making music. Born in South Carolina and raised in Georgia, he began playing guitar at 13, performing shows at age 14 and making records at age 19.  “By the time I was 17, I knew that music was what I wanted to do with my life. I thought, ‘What else am I going to do? Nothing.’ That was it. I was hooked.”
