"After 29 years in the music business, we find ourselves more determined than ever before," says lead singer  Marty Raybon.  "The past helps us to realize where we've been and sets our vision to where we want to be.  Our mission in 2017, with new music, is to expand our fanbase while continuing to enjoy the performances and making our 30th year the best ever."
 
To celebrate the holiday season, Shenandoah has released a new Christmas song. The single, "The First Noel," is included on the group's Christmas Comes Alive EP. The song is now available for digital download at  smarturl.it/ShenandoahFirstNoel  and radio airplay as well.
