Rising Nashville star and Amazon Music Breakthrough Artist Carter Faith is celebrating the season with the release of her new two-song holiday collection, ‘A Cherry Valley Holiday.' The festive project features a soulful rendition of The Eagles’ classic ‘Please Come Home for Christmas' and a brand-new original duet, ‘Nothin’ for Christmas,' featuring fellow rising artist William Beckmann.
The release caps off a landmark year for Faith, whose debut album ‘Cherry Valley' arrived last month via Gatsby Records/MCA. Read our review of the album right here. The album marked a defining moment in her career, earning widespread attention for its blend of nostalgic charm, sharp storytelling, and lush country-pop production. Recently named Music Row’s 2025 Discovery Artist of the Year, Faith also spent much of the year on tour, sharing stages with Little Big Town, Marcus King, and Noah Cyrus. She’s now set to make her acting debut in Netflix’s upcoming film ‘Heartland,' starring alongside Academy Award-winner Jessica Chastain.
‘Cherry Valley' is a deeply personal and imaginative record that captures the journey from Faith’s North Carolina roots to her creative home in Nashville. The title takes its name from a road sign that became a symbol of her artistic identity—a place where her classic influences like Tammy Wynette and Nancy Sinatra meet modern country sounds. Across the album, Faith navigates love, heartbreak, and self-discovery with cinematic detail and emotional honesty.
Crafted alongside longtime producer Tofer Brown, the songs on ‘Cherry Valley' reflect two years of meticulous writing and recording. Faith’s rise through Nashville’s ranks has been fuelled by hard work and authenticity—signing to MCA and Universal Music Publishing Group, performing on the Grand Ole Opry stage more than a dozen times, sharing bills with Willie Nelson, and amassing hundreds of millions of streams.
With ‘A Cherry Valley Holiday,' Faith closes out 2025 on a warm and heartfelt note, showing yet another side of her artistry. Blending nostalgia, soul, and timeless holiday spirit, the project serves as a fitting companion to a breakthrough year that’s set to propel her even further in 2026.
