The Overtones Release New Christmas Single Ahead of UK Tour

As they prepare to hit the road for their annual The Good Times Christmas Tour, the UK’s top vocal harmony group are getting in the Christmas spirit early, with the release of Turn Your Light On. Set to be a modern Christmas classic, The Overtones’ new track will be a much-anticipated addition to their stellar setlist, which consists of original fan favourites like Gambling Man and party-starting classics from iconic artists including Stevie Wonder and Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons. 

The multi-platinum-selling group will be playing 25 venues, with their opening-night audience in Llandudno, Wales, set to be the first to hear this infectiously-charming new tune. Co-written and produced by Grammy-winning hit-maker Eliot Kennedy (Take That, Spice Girls, and Celine Dion) and Tom Barker, Turn Your Light On brings fans a dose of Christmas cheer alongside the classic The Overtones sound they love.

The four-piece vocal harmony group made up of Mark Franks, Darren Everest, Jay James and Mike Crawshaw, is famed for their perfect balance of originality and nostalgia, which they showcase in their soaring harmonies and impeccable dance moves. The Overtones’ feel-good, show-stopping performances have led to over a decade of success in which the in-demand group has achieved five Top 10 albums, eleven sell-out UK tours, and a UK Number 1 on the Official UK Independent Album Chart with their latest album ‘10’.

The Overtones comments, We’re honoured that so many see The Overtones as their official start to Christmas, so with our new single Turn Your Light On, we wanted to give everyone an early holiday gift. We can’t wait to sing it with you on our Good Times Christmas Tour 2024! This original release, co-written with Grammy winner Eliot Kennedy, pays homage to soul legends like The Temptations, The Drifters, and The Chi-Lites, blending classic soul with a touch of Christmas spirit. We think it could be a highlight of the tour!

Turn Your Light On is available on all streaming platforms from 1st November. The Overtones embark on their UK tour starting in Llandudno, Wales, on 6th November.
