Video Premieres Today On American Country Network

Nashville, TN (November 28, 2025) – Tori Martin brings her own Texas twist to a Country classic with her new video release, “Jolly Old St. Nicholas (Hey Santa),” which premieres today on American Country Network. Videographer Lance Goodman filmed the piece at the world-famous Santa’s Pub in Nashville for LuckySky Music. The camera’s focus remains on Tori throughout as she mesmerizes the viewer with animation and charm. As the magical performance builds so does the audience, and side shots of pub-goers show an increasingly festive gathering. It’s light and fun and just what is needed to jump-start the holidays.

The song features cleverly adapted lyrics by Martin and Kirsti Manna. Producer Bill Warner describes it as “tasty retro Country funk, complimented by a classic swing beat.” Tori adds, “We had a great time crafting the new lyrics. We turned a timeless tune into a Country Christmas story filled with love for the people and furry friends who make the season bright. And we had an absolute blast making the video at Santa’s Pub.”

Tori plans to spend the holidays recharging, cherishing time with loved ones, and preparing for the new year. She will volunteer for Hope From Heaven, a Christmas event supporting local families in need, as well as sharing in the joy of singing at a Christmas church service. “I wish everyone a happy holiday season,” Tori adds.

Keep up-to-date with Tori via her website, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, X and YouTube.  The “Jolly Old St. Nicholas (Hey Santa)” track is available across all streaming platforms. 

About Tori Martin 

Born in Ft. Walton Beach, Florida, this military brat lived in several states before landing in Azle, Texas at the age of seven. She spent most of her life just outside of the Dallas/Fort Worth area where she began singing in the local church choir. She cut her teeth on classics from Johnny Cash and Tammy Wynette, courtesy of her grandfather “Paw-Paw,” and by the age of 14 she was performing at Opry houses all over Texas. In 2014, Renegade Radio Nashville named her one of the “New Faces of Country.” Martin competed on Season 14 of ABC TV’s American Idol but departed the show in the Hollywood round. Taking all her experiences and a big dose of courage, Tori moved to Nashville in 2017. It didn’t take long before the talented singer/songwriter found herself co-writing with some of the city’s most famous tunesmiths, and it’s a path that has felt blessed from the start. A chance meeting at a mixer led to her working with producer Bill Warner and she signed to Nashville’s indie label, LuckySky Music, shortly thereafter. Now the two creatives are carving a path that is uniquely her own. With single releases like “What Would Dolly Do,” “Steppin’ In It” and “Lucky,” which reached #42 on the Billboard Indicator chart, Tori’s modern traditional Country sound comes from her roots as a true-blue Texas singer. Her previous single, “Lost In The Country,” reached #1 on the Texas Regional Radio Report, Top 25 on the CDX TRACtion Texas Chart and Top 15 on their True Indie Chart. She released her original holiday song, “Warm For December” in November. Named one of the “Future Faces” of 2024 at the TRRR Music Awards, Tori opened for Drew Baldridge on select dates of his Fall 2024 tour. She won Texas Regional Radio Report’s 2025 “New Female Vocalist of the Year”  award in March at the 15^th annual Texas Music & Radio Awards Show in Arlington. Her single, “Abilene” reached #1 on the TRRR chart and Top 10 on the  CDX TRACtion Texas Singles chart in April. “Cowgirls Ride” hit #1 on the TRRR chart in September. When she is not on the road, Tori enjoys antiquing, decorating and spending time with her husband and their two golden retrievers, Duke and Daisy, and French bulldog, Lucky.
