“Kristyn and I believe it’s imperative for people to gather and sing together,” says Keith. “What a great opportunity that Christmas brings for this—to join voices, from so many states and even other countries, and sing joyfully together about this unimaginable good news of Christmas.”

In typical fashion, the Getty’s have assembled a global representation of instrumentalists and performers, including Alistair Begg, Laura Story and David Kim, among many others including a string quartet.

“We love the idea of a string quartet and instrumentalists that can go bluegrass or Irish and then go classical,” Keith shares. “The older I get, the more I tend to lean on historic principles. In keeping, we’ve commissioned choral work for this tour as well as four pieces of art, built on historic aspects of Christmas and the Christmas story.”

The effort the Getty’s have poured into the relevancy and reverence of their Christmas offering mirrors that which they pour into the rest of their work. Heralded as modern hymn writers, they released their first studio project since 2012 in June 2016. Facing A Task Unfinished (buy) hit No. 1 on charts in the US and the UK, and included guest artists such as Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Fernando Ortega, John Patitucci, and Chris Tomlin. Just before the album was released, the Getty’s led a global hymn sing of the title song, with an estimated 1.1 million people from 5400+ churches in 100 countries joining together.

This coming fall, the Getty’s will host a conference called, aptly, Sing. The goal is to encourage the singing of church music around the world, for the ultimate outcome of building relationships within families and church communities.
