|PIC1|Fervent Records' talented trio BarlowGirl is ready to spend this Christmas season and many more to come with you through their first holiday season project, Home For Christmas.

Produced by long-time friend Otto Price (GRITS, dcTalk) and arranged by Price and BarlowGirl, Home For Christmas is a timeless recording of songs ideal for ushering in the holiday season. The eleven tracks, finely showcasing BarlowGirl's well-known seamless harmonies, offer full orchestral arrangements of Christmas favorites along with an original recording, "Hallelujah (Light Has Come)."

Before they even formed BarlowGirl, the rock trio - Rebecca, Alyssa and Lauren Barlow - have dreamt of making an album of their favourite Christmas songs since their youth.

Blessed with joyous family holiday memories from singing carols to baking cookies for neighbours, BarlowGirl knows firsthand Christmas is a special time of year to bring joy to others, to reach out and help provide for those in need.

With each of the tracks found on Home For Christmas, Barlow Girl aims to uniquely capture what the holiday season is all about and make this a classic compilation to enjoy for years to come.

In addition to their upcoming holiday release, BarlowGirl announced in July they are headlining their Million Voices Tour this autumn, a unique 16+ city US tour that will be sure to encourage concert-goers to speak hope, truth and love to others.

Also continuing their partnership with Mercy Ministries - a programme that provides young women hope and healing who are seeking freedom from life-controlling issues such as addictions, depression, eating disorders, and abuse - BarlowGirl will share with their audiences about the organisation and encourage them to get involved. With the help of their fans, BarlowGirl has set a goal to raise $1,000,000 to build a new home for Mercy Ministries, whose waiting list is in the hundreds.

The Million Voices Tour starts September 10 and will run through mid-November. Joining the sisters on the tour is Jimmy Needham along with Brooke Barrettsmith.
