LUCAS HOGE'S "HEY CHRISTMAS" FEATURED IN NEW LIFETIME MOVIE "A COWBOY CHRISTMAS ROMANCE" STARRING JANA KRAMER - AIRS THIS WEEKEND

Lucas Hoge’s original holiday tune “Hey Christmas” will be featured in the new movie "A Cowboy Christmas Romance" starring actress and country artist Jana Kramer. The new film premieres on Lifetime Saturday, December 9, 2023 at 8 p.m. Eastern/7 p.m. Central and will be available to stream the following day. The fun holiday gem was originally released on his 2021 Lucas Hoge 12.25 album.

In addition to Kramer, A Cowboy Christmas Romance stars Adam Senn, Mary-Margaret Humes, Cassie Randolph, Curt Mega, Bruce Thomas, Lisa Lee, and Max Ehrich. One week before Christmas, a huge business deal sends real estate “closer” Lexie Crenshaw (Kramer) back to a place she swore she’d never return: her hometown of Tubac, Arizona. Back on the range, Lexie must convince Coby Mason (Senn), a horse-whispering rancher, to part ways with his family's land, while navigating her relationship with the father (Thomas) and brothers she left behind, leading her to reconsider the life she gave up 10 years ago.

The movie follows the release of Hoge's beautiful rendition of “It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas,” which is available now. Produced by Kent Wells (Dolly Parton), “It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas” was released on Forge Entertainment via ONErpm.

“For those who know me, know Christmas is my favorite time of the year and to have our songs in movies is always exciting,” said Lucas. “I hope these songs bring holiday cheer to a lot of people at a time where we really need it.”

The new single and movie cap off a busy year for Lucas. He released the hit single and video “Nowhere,” toured with Chapel Hart, headlined his own dates and organized the inaugural Belize Songwriter Festival.

Set at four beautiful resorts on stunning Hopkins Beach, Belize, Lucas created the event with friends Dwayne Hoving, Jen Carney, and branding guru Laura Lynn. The lineup featured 10 songwriters including Nashville Songwriter Hall of Fame member Paul Overstreet, Lindsay Ell, Craig Campbell, Phil Barton, Trent Tomlinson, Forest Glen Whitehead, and more.

REVIVER RECORDS' LUCAS HOGE SLATED FOR WRANGLER® NATIONAL PATRIOT TOUR

With Hoge as the Official Wrangler® National Patriot Artist, the Wrangler® National Patriot Program and Clothing Line Have Raised More Than $850,000 to Support The Needs of Wounded and Fallen Soldiers and Their Families

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (May 1, 2015) – In the words of Winston Churchill, "We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give." Freshly inked by Reviver Records and already tapped as Cabela’s® newest brand ambassador, bright-eyed newcomer Lucas Hoge, lives his life by that philosophy.

In his 2010 leading role on Animal Planet's “Last Chance Highway,” Hoge dedicated over a year of his life to find loving homes for stray and unclaimed shelter dogs who had been left abandoned with no where to go; and today, he continues to live out his philanthropic calling through support of the U.S. Military. In partnership with the all-American clothing line, Wrangler®, he will soon embark on the Wrangler® National Patriot Tour in observance of Memorial Day. As the only music artist on the tour, he will perform for brave servicemen and women at various forward operating bases throughout the Middle East.

"To get to be a part of this tour and spend one-on-one time with the heroes who are fighting every day for our freedom… it's a real honor for me,” Hoge said. But he knows the product of their sacrifice far outweighs anything he can do for them.

“I'm glad to try and bring some peace and comfort to them through my music, but having done these tours before, I've learned that what I get out of going and being there is far greater than anything I could ever give back. Just to meet our heroes face to-face, shake their hands, look them in the eye and thank them for what they do – that’s what this is all about. It's an unforgettable opportunity," he added.

In the time Hoge has served as the official Wrangler® National Patriot artist, the Wrangler® National Patriot Program and clothing line have collectively raised over $850,000 for wounded and fallen servicemen and women and their families. Contribution to those funds has come from the sale of Hoge’s self-penned, patriotic anthem, “Medal of Honor,” from which proceeds are donated per sale from the Wrangler® National Patriot website: wranglernationalpatriot.com.

Over the years, Hoge has toured throughout Iraq, Kuwait, Kosovo, Afghanistan, Hawaii, Alaska and the Middle East performing for U.S. military troops, and his songs "Soldier's Creed," and "Medal of Honor" are both featured on his Music for Our Troops CD, which pays tribute to military members for their daily sacrifices. He is also involved with ThanksUSA.org, a charity that helps military families obtain scholarships for education, and in acknowledgement of his love for animals, is the official spokesperson for Guardian Angels for Soldier’s Pet©, which fosters animals for soldiers while they are stationed overseas.

This spring and summer, Hoge will bring his traditional country sound and energy-packed performances to a slew of summer music festivals including the CMA Music Festival (Nashville, Tenn.), BackYard BBQ (Pueblo, Colo.), the Cuchara Country Music Festival (La Veta, Colo.), and many more.  He is also positioned to release a new single in 2015 called “Power of Garth” – a poignant ballad heralding the legacy of country icon Garth Brooks.

Though momentum will build as the small-town Nebraska native continues to chase his life-long dream in country music, he’ll always be focused on ‘giving back.’

Hoge was nominated for the Inspirational Country Music (ICM) Association’s “New Artist of The Year Award,” in 2011 after answering a woman’s dying wish to write a song inspired by her autobiographical poem, “How Was I To Know.”

LUCAS HOGE RELEASES SUMMERTIME SINGLE "FLIP FLOPS" TO COUNTRY RADIO

Set To Impact Country Radio In Early August

PRESS RELEASE

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (June 26, 2014)— Nashville singer/songwriter, performer and country recording artist Lucas Hoge celebrates the world premiere release of his new single entitled “Flip Flops.”**  The sizzlin’ summertime tune (released in alliance with Reviver Records and Sony Red Distribution) is set to impact country radio on August 4, 2014 [CDX/Vol. 599 (7/7/14) // Radio promotion headed up by GrassRoots Promotion].

A “beachy keen” tune with a good-timin’ groove, the infectious new track (co-written by Hoge and JD Wood) paints a radiant picture of warm winds, hot skin, tan lines and bikini tops.  The "feel-good-allover" track basks in Hoge's vocals--as crystal clear as the Caribbean blue-green waters.

"This track is upbeat, fun and truthful. My buddy had the idea for the song title and I wanted the message to reflect my life on the farm in comparison to the first time I saw the ocean," Lucas Hoge introduced. "The line 'this girl on my arm has never seen a farm and she couldn't believe I'd never been to the ocean' is written from a chapter of my life 10 years ago. That 'girl' became my wife and when she heard I'd never seen the ocean, she made flight reservations that very day for us to head to the west Coast!”

The toe-tappin’ melody and easy-does-it lyrics will take listeners to “Five O’clock Somewhere” where “No Shoes, No Shirts…” are no problem:

WARM WIND ON YOUR HOT SKIN

EVERYBODY GONNA JUMP ON IN

‘TIL THE NIGHT COMES AND THE MOON’S UP

GONNA NEED A LITTLE LIGHT TO HELP YOU FIND THOSE

FLIP FLOPS AND BIKINI TOPS

The latest offering comes from Hoge’s upcoming EP intended for an early Fall 2014 release.  [Hoge is currently writing and working alongside producer Matt McCLure (Lee Brice/HARD 2 LOVE); the creative pair is scheduled to head into the studio in the coming weeks.]

The new music follows on the heels of Hoge’s return from the 5th Annual USO Wrangler National Patriot Memorial Day Tour and the announcement of his official endorsement relationship with Wrangler National Patriot.

Hoge is no stranger to large audiences on the big screen and center stage, in print, and over radio airwaves. An all-around entertainer, Hoge continues to pioneer the path as a contending major indie artist. His reputation as a motion-moving performer, clever lyricist and stand-out vocalist precede him as he transcends borders into the acting arena; Hoge starred in Animal Planet’s Last Chance Highway and played the feature role in Clinton Gregory’s video “Too Much Ain’t Enough.”  With music at the forefront, his versatile artistry has landed him appearances on The Today Show, Inside Edition and he has graced the pages of People Magazine and Country Weekly; he has performed abroad and at some of country music’s biggest events and venues (CMA Fest and the historic Ryman Auditorium).

“It is my direct responsibility to develop our roster with national and emerging artists. I’ve been a fan of Lucas since hearing his single ‘Give A Damn’ on GAC. After seeing his live show, we all knew we wanted to be part of his career. This guy has “it.” He’s a strong songwriter, he's an excellent vocalist, and he possesses a charisma on stage that people are drawn to,” AEN agent, Tim Gray added. "Plain and simple, he's a star and we’re excited to see what we accomplish together in 2013.”

 “The Artist Events Nashville team has the reputation to get acts work and I’m a working artist that wanted to align with a team that has the same determination as I do,” Hoge introduced. “There is a comfort level in our mutual respect and common work ethic that I think makes for a long-lasting, successful relationship and I am pleased to be part of the AEN roster.”

Lucas is currently promoting his new single release, entitled “Should’ve Loved,” which is being met with an early and overwhelming welcome by radio and its listeners. [CDX Vol. 567 (April 1, 2013)/PlayMpE)

LUCAS HOGE TEAMS WITH BOWTECH ARCHERY TO HONOR OUR MILITARY

Hoge's "Medal Of Honor" is the title track of BOWTECH music compilation & official theme song of Wrangler National Patriot

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (March 12, 2013) -- Nashville singer/songwriter, performer and country recording artist Lucas Hoge has accepted the welcomed invitation to feature his personal composition and recording, entitled “Medal Of Honor,” as the official introduction to the CD compilation MEDAL OF HONOR, presented by BOWTECH Archery, for the benefit of our American brothers and sisters of service.

The nine-song collection (featuring song titles such as “Amazing Grace,” “Amen” “Brave Men” and “Land That I Love”) highlights Hoge’s recording as an appropriate title track and a proper musical dedication to our military. A gesture in kind, Hoge’s contribution to the project is in keeping with his devotion and dedication to recognize our military and their sacrifices.

A heartfelt tribute to the men and women on the front lines, the cooks and medics, and those family members who wait at home with hope for the safe return of loved ones, the inspiration behind the song came after Hoge’s visit to Iraq, Kuwait and Kosovo in 2009. With the help of his friend and co-writer, Corey Barker, the song has given Hoge a voice to say “Thank You.”

To all those on the front lines

Never give up faith

Know somebody's prayin' for you each and everyday

To those who serve the meals

To those who patch their wounds

To those who wait at home for them with everything to lose

This song, is for you

You can't wear it on your chest

But you can feel it in your heart

And I hope it brings you comfort

When this world grows dark

Let it echo thru the madness

Let the message pull you through

This is our Medal Of Honor, to you

“I was honored when I was asked to be a part of the BOWTECH project,” said Hoge. “This seems so slight in comparison to the gift our military extends to us each and every day; I will continue to support our troops any way I can.”

BOWTECH manufactures and distributes the world’s finest compound bows and archery equipment across the globe. A company closely tied to supporting our troops, BOWTECH has established an Overseas and Stateside Program that enables all enlisted and/or retired military to purchase bows at discounted prices. As an expression of gratitude for his and her service, the patriotic album, 

MEDAL OF HONOR, will be included with every bow purchase as a special FREE gift.

“We wanted to organize a formal dedication to our brothers and sisters of service because it seems our troops have almost been forgotten. (They are in our hearts every day.) When we met Lucas two years ago, we instantly loved him, his passion for our military, and his music,” said Michelle Dawson, BOWTECH Archery Marketing Coordinator. “We knew instantly, at first listen, that we needed to name the compilation MEDAL OF HONOR; it is so very fitting.”

Hoge’s “Medal Of Honor” is also the official theme song of Wrangler National Patriot and available for download via www.WranglerNationalPatriot.com. (Proceeds are gifted to our military.) The track has additionally been featured on a variety independent military compilation CD’s including MUSIC FOR TROOPS and NEVER FORGOTTEN. Hoge is scheduled to return overseas on his third Wrangler National Patriot tour this summer.
