Darius Rucker & Lindsey Stirling release 'What Child Is This'

Three-time Grammy Award-winner and recent CMA Awards host Darius Rucker  teamed up with Platinum-selling electronic artist and violinist Lindsey Stirling for a special performance of the classic Christmas carol “What Child Is This” for this year’s “CMA Country Christmas” television special on ABC. The two superstars also released the duet as a digital-only single; listen HERE.

“I was so honored when the CMA asked me to perform ‘What Child Is This’ and to be getting to do it with an amazing musician like Lindsey is just awesome,” noted Rucker, who also recently co-hosted the 54th annual CMA Awards and performed alongside Katy Perry on the American Music Awards.

“I was so excited to be a part of ‘CMA Country Christmas’ again this year,” Stirling said. “Every year, they give me an amazing chance to sparkle in their spectacular show. This year was extra special since I got to collaborate with the amazing Darius Rucker. Hope everyone loves it as much as we do!”

Rucker also recently released an original holiday song with his Hootie & the Blowfish bandmates and talented young songstress Abigail Hodges, with heartfelt track “Won’t Be Home For Christmas” honoring the sacrifice of military members and their families. His 2014 album, “Home For The Holidays,” remains in heavy rotation by fans and radio alike every holiday season. Meanwhile, his current feel-good single “Beers And Sunshine” is top 15 and climbing at country radio.

Rucker is poised to enter the top 10 on the country charts with “Beers and Sunshine.”
