Peg Luke Releases New Christmas EP ‘Sleep, Baby Jesus: A Peg Luke Christmas’

This holiday season, people can prepare to have their souls stirred and spirits lifted with Peg Luke’s latest musical gift to the world, Sleep, Baby Jesus: A Peg Luke Christmas. A seamless blend of traditional carols and brand-new anthems, this album is poised to become the soundtrack of this year’s festivities, enveloping listeners in the true essence of Christmas.

Luke, who has dazzled fans before and earned her stripes with Grammy and Emmy nominations, collaborates with the genius of Lucas Sader, the current music director for Pentatonix, to bring a magical rendition of “O, Holy Night” that is nothing short of celestial. The audience is transported to that serene night in Bethlehem, surrounded by the gentle strumming of a harp and the ethereal sounds of a choir.

Joining forces with Grammy-winning Neal Merrick Blackwood, Luke puts a fresh spin on “O Come,” morphing it into a stirring entreaty for Emmanuel to come, with each refrain exuding a spirited ‘Rejoice! And in the heart of the North Carolina mountains, just before the world turned upside down, “The Greatest Gift” was born—a delicate narrative of nativity, rich in imagery and emotion.

It’s not just the music that makes this album a standout. Renowned videographer Jody Spence brings his eye for storytelling to the project, capturing both behind-the-scenes magic and the creation of a stunning music video for “The Greatest Gift.” It’s a visual feast that complements the auditory splendor of the album.

From the tender lullaby of “Sleep, Baby Jesus” to the stark beauty of “In the Bleak Midwinter,” Peg invites her listeners on a journey through the season, reminding them that the greatest gift one can offer is their own hearts. And as Luke continues to be a beacon of comfort and inspiration through songs like “Lord, I Want to be a Christian,” “Dirt Under His Nails,” “Amazing Grace,” and others, Sleep, Baby Jesus: A Peg Luke Christmas serves as a shining example of her exceptional talent, capturing the essence of the holiday season with its deep sense of sacredness and awe-inspiring beauty.
