Billboard’s Lucas Hoge Continues Journey of Healing With New Christmas Single; Raises Over $550,000 for Cystic Fibrosis Research and Patient Care

Published on November 25, 2019

Billboard country music artist Lucas Hoge is known for his love and support of the U.S. military and to those less-fortunate, especially around the holiday season.

A passionate supporter of our U.S. military, Hoge has traveled the globe extensively performing for the troops and visiting numerous countries throughout the Middle East and beyond for the past ten years as part of the Wrangler National Patriot.

Well, this holiday season, Hoge’s passion and work ethic aren’t expected to slow down, as the Billboard No. 1 artist is now dedicating his upcoming performances to those children who aren’t able to be with their families—who are instead spending their time undergoing treatment and care for cystic fibrosis and other life-threatening conditions.

His new original Christmas single, “Christmas Without You,” will send chills up and down your spine as Hoge takes you through an emotional story-telling like journey on what it means to spend the holidays with those you love most.

Christmas is my absolute favorite time of year and I love any chance I get to write a Christmas song!” Hoge shared with us. “I’m so excited to release ‘Christmas Without You,’ I wrote it with my buddies Brett Sheroky and Drew Powell, it’s all about wanting to be with the one you love most, which is what the holidays are all about.”

Adding to his new holiday release, Hoge has raised over $550,000 for cystic fibrosis research and patient care by participating in Hook The Cure for his 10th year in a row. The event was hosted by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, and took place earlier this month.

More than 30,000 people are living in the U.S. with cystic fibrosis, and over 70,000 people worldwide suffer from the genetic disease. Cystic fibrosis is a progressive, genetic disease that causes persistent lung infections and limits the ability to breathe over time, according to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

In the lungs, mucus clogs the airways and traps germs, like bacteria, leading to infections, inflammation, respiratory failure, and other health complications. For those individuals who have CF, they have inherited two copies of the defective CF gene—one copy from each parent, requiring that both parents have at least one copy of the defective gene.

Now, Hoge will be performing during the Nashville Christmas Parade benefitting Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt University on December 7.

He recently released “Workin’ On Me,” which took listeners deeper inside Hoge and what it means to fall in love…and humanizing ourselves.
