Christian Records artist Jill Parr will perform as the opening act for this year’s Christmas Shoes Tour, headlining Newsong and featuring Nicole C. Mullen.

“The Newsong Christmas tour is going to be a major family night out this season,” says George King, President of Christian Records and the Butterfly Group. “We are extremely proud to have Jill join with Nicole C. Mullen and Newsong for this one-of-a-kind evening of celebration.”

Parr will sing "This I Know", a single from Christian Records debut album Orbit. In addition, she will sing her modern version of the song “Hear What I Hear" and a traditional version of the Christmas classic, "O Come All Ye Faithful." The two songs will be offered on a bonus CD to anyone who purchases Orbit during the Christmas tour.

The songs performed during the tour will also be available for download after the tour at her website: www.jillparr.com

“I'm ecstatic to be a part of this tour,” reflects Parr. “There's not another season or holiday that I love more than Christmas, and I'm looking forward to sharing it with Nicole, Newsong and so many music lovers that share my passion for Christmas time!”

Aside from sharing her musical talent to the crowds, Parr will be donating proceeds from the Christmas ornament sales to a needy family in Nashville, TN. The hand decorated ornaments will be up for sale during the tour.
