NASHVILLE, TN (November 28, 2023) — Prepare for a festive boost as Uncle Kracker unveils his interpretation of the timeless Christmas tune “Frosty the Snowman,” today. Renowned for his diverse and multi-platinum successes, Uncle Kracker injects his lively personality into this merry rendition. To add a heartwarming touch, he enlisted the musical talents of his children, Miles and Ford, who joined him in the studio for this family-friendly melody. Originally crafted by Walter “Jack” Rollins and Steve Nelson, this popular Christmas song gets a fresh and spirited treatment from Uncle Kracker.
Revealed exclusively on Taste of Country, Uncle Kracker shares: “Nothing feels more like Christmas than singing classic Christmas songs like ‘Frosty The Snowman’ and I couldn’t think of a better way to sing them than with my kids.”
Stream “Frosty The Snowman” here.
The new jingle follows a slew of 2023 singles from Uncle Kracker including his high-flying anthem “Cruising Altitude,” the upbeat summer single “Reason To Drink,” along with the nostalgic ballad “Sweet 16” — which American Songwriter highlighted the song’s “infectious melody,” adding: “‘Sweet 16’ is an earworm on the surface but, becomes a moving vignette of growing old the closer you listen.”
In 2024, he is set to embark on the “Sun Goes Down” tour alongside Kenny Chesney, Zac Brown Band, and Megan Moroney, as recently revealed. Always active on the road, Uncle Kracker wrapped up a successful summer 2023 run with ZZ Top and Lynyrd Skynyrd for the “Sharp Dressed Simple Man” tour.

ABOUT UNCLE KRACKER:
Uncle Kracker cuts right to the chase. He knows people want to kick back, forget about their troubles, and have a good time, so he’s always willing to oblige. For over two decades, the multi-platinum artist, born Matthew Shafer has consistently soundtracked such good times with his boldly breezy blend of country, pop, and rock spiked with a splash of hip-hop. The world initially met Uncle Kracker during his stint in Kid Rock’s Twisted Brown Trucker Band, lending his songwriting and musical acumen to seven cuts off the RIAA diamond-certified Devil Without A Cause. However, fans fell in love with him on his solo debut Double Wide in 2000. It not only crashed the Top 10 of the Billboard 200 at #7, but it also picked up a double-platinum certification and paved the way for the gold-certified follow-up No Stranger To Shame [2002]. He has impressively notched #1 entries in three different genre lanes, topping Pop, Adult Contemporary, and Country charts. The platinum “Follow Me” clinched #1 in four countries, while the double-platinum “When The Sun Goes Down” [with Kenny Chesney] vaulted to #1 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks Chart. He made history with his cover of Dobie Gray’s “Drift Away.” It logged 28 consecutive weeks at #1 on Adult Contemporary Radio, earning “the most weeks atop any Billboard chart.” Meanwhile, “Smile” shined across culture. It reached triple-platinum status and landed dozens of syncs, including a spot for The Office and a tribute montage to Regis Philbin on his final episode of Live With Regis & Kelly. Following 2012’s country album Midnight Special, he served up singles such as “Endlessly,” “Floatin’,” and “No Time To Be Sober.” Now in 2023, he’s released “Sweet 16” — his first proper single since the notorious pandemic — followed by “Reason To Drink” and most recently, “Cruising Altitude.”
