Kirsty Lee Akers Re-Launches Uniquely Aussie Christmas Song

This week, the calendar year ticked over to being less than a month until Christmas. Getting into the festive spirit just before December begins, Kirsty Lee Akers has re-launched her uniquely Australian Christmas song.

Revealing that Christmas is her favourite time of year and she’s already dreading it coming to an end, Akers’ song, I Never Want Christmas To End, is for all those people who feel exactly the same as she does. Originally released in November 2018, I Never Want Christmas To End was Akers’ first-ever Christmas song.

Here’s what Akers had to say about the song on social media yesterday (26 November):

It’s officially less than ONE MONTH until CHRISTMAS and already I am getting sad that it will be all over with soon. I love Christmas so much, and I never want it to end, so I wrote a song about that feeling and what it felt like as a kid celebrating Christmas every year in Australia.

Last October, Akers released a song in honour of Jimmy Buffett alongside her husband, Jesse Anderson and lead guitarist Dan Ebbels under the band name Rhinestoned.

Akers’ voice is both sweet and commanding, while Anderson is the perfect partner. Ebbels noodles away during the verses and provides a slide-guitar-laden solo towards the end. The music video for Margarita Weather, directed by Anderson, exclusively premiered on Countrytown.

Akers, Anderson and Ebbels revealed news about their supergroup last June.

“For so long now (18 years to be exact), my husband Jesse has been my biggest fan and biggest supporter and always let me shine the brightest with him being the one in the background, backstage, filming my music videos or selling my merch, but its time the world sees just how talented he is also!” Akers wrote on social media.

“My guitarist Dan is someone who has been my left-hand man for over 11 years now playing in my band, so the three of us (well, mainly me, and they agreed) decided to start a trio where we could play music together all the time and take it from just jamming out together at home to on the big stage!”
