November 13, 2015 — Multi-GRAMMY award and Billboard award-winning band, TRAIN is kicking off the holiday season with the release of Christmas in Tahoe, their first-ever holiday album, available NOW exclusively on Amazon.

The album features 15 holiday-inspired tracks – both original holiday songs and covers of holiday classics such as “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas” and “Merry Christmas Everybody” – available for digital download exclusively on Amazon; the physical CD’s deluxe version with all 15 songs will also only be available on Amazon. Amazon Prime members in the U.S., U.K., Germany and Austria will be able to stream the album ad-free on Prime Music, at no additional cost to their membership.

“Christmas in Tahoe has been a part of Train's journey that's been in the making for quite some time,” said Pat Monahan, lead vocalist of Train. “We couldn't be more excited that Amazon presented us with the opportunity to share the album with millions of Amazon Prime members, and joined us in an amazing relationship to continue to positively change the way people hear new and current music.”

Giving fans a glimpse into the festive CD, the band released the music video for “Merry Christmas Everybody” earlier this month, directed by Olivier Agostini. The video can be viewed HERE. Additionally, the band will host their “Train: San Francisco Christmas Party” at The Fillmore in San Francisco on December 14 – tickets to the concert sold out within three minutes of being on sale.

Train, which has had 13 songs on Billboard’s Hot 100 list since the release of their debut self-titled album, has put their signature sound and spin on holiday classics such as Donny Hathaway’s “This Christmas” and Stevie Wonder’s “What Christmas Means To Me.” Newly-recorded versions of Elvis Presley’s “Santa Bring My Baby Back (To Me),” John Lennon’s “Happy Xmas (War Is Over)” and the Hawaiian-themed Christmas song written by Robert Alex Anderson, “Mele Kalikimaka” are tracks that can only be found on Amazon. The album also includes original holiday music sure to become favorites, including the sunny disposition of “Christmas Island,” the melancholy yearning and country shuffle of “Wait For Mary Christmas,” and the rhythmic wordplay of “Shake Up Christmas.”

Amazon Prime members will be able to listen to Christmas in Tahoe on Prime Music through the Amazon Music app on iOS, Android, Fire devices, Amazon Echo, or on the Web at www.primemusic.com, starting today   Prime members can also download tracks off the album for anytime, anywhere listening.
