Rising Nashville star Carter Faith—Amazon Music’s latest Breakthrough Artist—shares a new two-song holiday collection today. A Cherry Valley Holiday features a rendition of The Eagles’ “Please Come Home for Christmas,” and a new original song, “Nothin’ for Christmas,” with William Beckmann—listen here.
The release continues a breakout year for Carter, who shared her highly anticipated debut album, Cherry Valley, last month via Gatsby Records/MCA—get it here. The LP debuted to widespread critical acclaim from Rolling Stone, Billboard and The Tennessean, amongst others. She was also named Music Row’s 2025 Discovery Artist of the Year, shared stages across the country with Little Big Town, Marcus King, and Noah Cyrus, and announced her forthcoming acting debut in Netflix’s film Heartland, starring alongside Academy Award-winner Jessica Chastain.
Cherry Valley is a document of Carter’s time in Nashville, working chronologically through her breakout successes and gut-punching breakups, new loves and family dustups. It’s named for an imagined place, a road sign Carter once saw that came to signify her creative home, a sweet spot where her old school influences like Tammy Wynette, Nancy Sinatra, Pet Sounds and Revolver meet today’s country. The album synthesizes all that into a signature Carter Faith sound.
Critical acclaim for Cherry Valley…
The songs on Cherry Valley span Carter’s journey from her North Carolina hometown to Nashville, with all the heartbreak, triumph and hazy nights in between. Carter and longtime producer Tofer Brown spent two years crafting tracks for the album before finally entering the studio in 2024 to lay it down. All the while, Carter was working relentlessly to climb the ranks of country music, signing to MCA and Universal Music Publishing Group, gracing the Opry stage a dozen times, sharing stages with idols like Willie Nelson, and racking up hundreds of millions of streams.
Following her Stagecoach debut and runs with Ella Langley and Carly Pearce, Carter joined Little Big Town’s Karen Fairchild on the stage of the 18th Academy of Country Music Honors for a duet of “Lies Lies Lies” written by ACM Songwriter of the Year, Jessie Jo Dillon. Carter just completed a run on Noah Cyrus’ extensive I Want My Loved Ones to Go with Me Tourand will perform at Red Bull Jukebox in Nashville before heading back out on the road with Kelsea Ballerini this winter. She’ll join Tucker Wetmore on his 2026 Brunette World Tour for dates across the EU and UK in April, as well as headliner Post Malone atSummerfest in June. See below for full routing.
