Joey McIntyre (NKOTB) has announced plans to release a holiday album, Come Home for Christmas. The singer will also be performing two (free) shows in Boston within the coming weeks.
For the holiday standards that make up the self-released Come Home for Christmas, McIntyre set out to record versions of some of his favorites that evoke holiday memories, but still retain their traditional sound. With several duets on the album, one highlight in particular is the holiday classic Peace on Earth which finds McIntyre accompanied by longtime friend and fellow New Kid on the Block, Jordan Knight.
McIntyre will perform two tracks from the album at the Macy’s Tree Lighting Ceremony in Boston’s Downtown Crossing on Friday, Nov. 25. An in-store CD signing will immediately follow. The singer will be back in Boston on Thursday, Dec. 1, when he will perform at the annual City of Boston Tree Lighting on Boston Common.
Come Home for Christmas will be available on iTunes Tuesday, Nov. 29.
