Matthew West spoke with Fox News Digital about his working relationship with Candace Cameron Bure and why he is so excited about his upcoming Come Home for Christmas weekend concert event.
The two were speaking about a movie Bure was working on, which resulted in West playing the song for her.
The two had been friends since 2011, when Bure starred in the movie"The Heart of Christmas," which was based off West's song of the same name. West joked it was almost a no-brainer that Bure had a starring role in that movie, because"she's kind of the queen of Christmas," having starred in many throughout her career.
West is excited to not only be able to go back to his roots and connect with his fans again through the weekend-long Come Home for Christmas event, he is also excited to show them some of his favorite parts about living in Tennessee and to share that experience with them for the first time.. Thousands of people show up for the Christmas tree lighting, and they've had me be the one who officiates that every year," he said.
"I mean the greats. The great singer-songwriters are the first ones that I would point to, whether it's ‘So It Goes’ by Billy Joel or ‘Fire and Rain’ by James Taylor, some of the great singer-songwriters of the day," West explained."A lot of faith based inspirational music as well, like Michael W Smith and Steven Curtis Chapman and DC Talk really impacted the type of music that I decided I wanted to make. And a lot of country music.
