RING IN THE SEASON WITH NEW HOLIDAY
SINGLE
“O HOLY NIGHT”

OUT NOVEMBER 20 AHEAD OF 10TH ANNIVERSARY
CHRISTMAS SHOWS IN WINSTON-SALEM, NC

NASHVILLE, TN (November 9, 2026) — Acclaimed husband-and-wife country duo The Dryes are ringing in the holiday season with “O Holy Night,” an intimate new rendition of the beloved Christmas hymn, arriving November 20 on all streaming platforms. The release arrives just in time for a milestone in December, as The Dryes celebrate 10 years of their annual Christmas show with a 3-night run in Winston-Salem, NC.

Following “Mud Room,” which arrived on October 16 to immediate support across Spotify, Apple Music and YouTube Music — including placements on official playlists such as “All New Country,” “All New Christian and Gospel,” “Country Faith” and “Country Church” — “O Holy Night” finds The Dryes leaning further into the faith and emotional honesty that have defined their catalog. Where “Mud Room” imagined heaven with a place to set down the weight we carry, “O Holy Night” returns to the source: a timeless hymn of hope, delivered with the warmth and closeness of two voices that have spent a decade bringing Christmas home to their fans.

“We are very excited to finally release this song into the world!” says The Dryes. “By fan requests over the last few years, performing this arrangement at our yearly Christmas shows, we recorded our own version of this classic Christmas hymn. 2026 actually marks our 10-year anniversary of hometown Christmas shows in North Carolina. This is our first time adding strings to a song, partly by finding inspiration from touring as featured artists in Dolly Parton’s orchestra show since March of 2025. We’ve been lucky to have performed with some of the top symphonies across the United States, including the National Symphony in DC coming up this month.”

The single lines up perfectly with one of the most meaningful traditions in The Dryes’ career. This December, the duo return to Old Homeplace Vineyard in Winston-Salem, NC for the 10th anniversary of their annual Christmas show — a 4-night run on December 17-20 — marking a full decade of holiday shows that have become a seasonal staple for their fans. 

The holiday release caps a pivotal year for The Dryes, who are entering a major new chapter of growth with 18.4M+ global streams and 103K+ followers across Instagram and TikTok. The duo continue as featured artists in Dolly Parton’s Threads: My Songs in Symphony — a production co-produced by Parton herself — with additional performances being added into 2027. Before heading home to North Carolina, The Dryes will perform in Nashville at Parton’s Live on November 11 and celebrate release day with their debut at The Bluebird Cafe on November 20.
