JT Hodges
Nov 24, 2013
Showdog-Universal artist JT Hodges is more than just a talented singer/songwriter who has toured with the likes of Toby Keith, Eric Church, Miranda Lambert, and more. He can now add actor onto his list of accomplishments.
Hodges is set to star in the new holiday Hallmark movie "Finding Christmas," which airs on the network Sunday, December 15th at 8p (ET). He stars in the new film with Tricia Helfer (Battlestar Galactica, The Firm), Mark Lutz (Ghost Whisperer) and Cristina Rosato (Perfect Plan).
In the movie, JT performs the classic holiday song, "Joy to the World" when he goes to an open-mic night at a New York City Club with his new love interest, Mina.
The English hymn, originally written by Isaac Watts in 1719, celebrates Christ's triumphant return and imitates the language of the New Testament. It has gone on to become a mainstay of the holidays for generations. Hodges' own arrangement of the classic song marks the first time he has released a Christmas/holiday song in conjunction with a network film release.
You can head to iTunes now to preview JT's version of "Joy to the World." It's currently being added to my Christmas playlist!
