The holiday season is about to feel a lot warmer as Lady A returns with a brand-new Christmas album and a festive tour that fans have been waiting more than a decade to experience again.
Thirteen years after their first holiday release, the Grammy-winning trio is back with “On This Winter’s Night (Volume 2)”, a collection crafted to blend family, faith, and timeless Christmas nostalgia into one heartfelt project.
Fans were given an early taste of the album during a cozy preview performance, where Hillary Scott, Charles Kelley, and Dave Haywood delivered a stunning rendition of “Silent Night,” capturing the warmth and simplicity of Christmas traditions.
As they reflected on the success of their platinum-selling first volume, Kelley shared how the group wanted to create something that could once again become part of fans’ yearly holiday rituals. That sentiment led to a fully realized project—and a brand-new tour.
A Festive Tour Built for Families
Lady A’s “This Winter’s Night Tour” begins December 5 in Atlanta and wraps with a special three-night finale in Nashville. The band revealed that preparing for the tour inspired them to expand their holiday catalog, leading to the creation of Volume 2.
The tracklist includes classics like “Winter Wonderland,” “Last Christmas,” and “O Holy Night,” along with original songs designed to spark warm, familiar memories.
A New Season of Family & Faith
Much has changed for the trio since their first holiday album. With nine children among them, their understanding of the season has deepened. Scott shared that family traditions—such as reading scripture about the birth of Jesus—heavily influenced their new music. This inspiration shines in songs like “Why We Sing Noel,” a collaboration with Ricky Skaggs.
Kelley also offered a lighthearted moment, admitting he once misunderstood the meaning of “Noel,” a discovery that shaped his spiritual connection to the new tracks. Another highlight includes a special collaboration with Chris Tomlin on “Silent Night,” blending faith-filled storytelling with classic melodies.
A Holiday Experience for All Ages
As Lady A prepares to bring their families on tour, Haywood hinted that fans may even see their children make small appearances during shows. Still, the group plans to return home in time for Christmas Eve, where their traditions continue with scripture readings and a beloved Tex-Mex dinner.
Their vision for this tour is simple: create a space where fans of all ages—from grandparents to toddlers—can share in the warmth and joy of Christmas music. Kelley said the group worked to balance high-energy performances with intimate storytelling moments to ensure every audience member feels included.
As the trio steps into the holiday season with renewed purpose, Scott captured the heart of their project best: a joyful blend of family, faith, and festive chaos meant to bring people together.
