His duet of“The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire)” with Heather Rice is out now and available on all streaming platforms.

Landau and Heather previously performed together on stage with the Charleston, SC Symphony Orchestra, and now they're bringing that same festive magic into the studio with the new single. Recorded at Truphonic Recording Studio in Charleston, SC the song features a graceful piano arrangement by Jonathan Lovett and production by Elliott Elsey. The mix highlights Landau's velvety phrasing and classic, Nat King Cole-inspired charm, along with Heather's pure soulful vocals.

As Landau celebrates the release during the Holiday season, he is also gearing up to hit the road with his 15th annual“Home for the Holidays” Tour, starting December 6th. The much-anticipated Christmas tour, presented by West Virginia Adult Education and its“Never Too Late To Graduate” campaign, is a merry ensemble of festive favorites and timeless American Songbook hits for audiences across West Virginia. He'll be joined by his Landau Little Big Band and very special guest Delnora, the acclaimed Positive Country artist, singer-songwriter, and fellow West Virginia native who has performed on the Grand Ole Opry stage and is celebrated for her heartfelt vocals and uplifting message.

Adding to the spirit of giving, Landau's annual“Kids Joy Toy Drive” is underway, where concertgoers in each tour market are encouraged to bring a new toy to show support for area children in need. The initiative reflects Landau's long-standing commitment to community and philanthropy, which has defined his career since he won America's Got Talent.

“This is my favorite time of year," says Landau. "Releasing this beautiful song, going back on our Christmas tour, and distributing toys through the Kid's Joy Toy Drive-there's no better way to celebrate the season.”
