about

Szia, üdvözlet to Day 20, and a blink of an eye, this 5th season of Aerhyn's Acapella Advent Calendar has just flown by.

It's a little tiny miracle that today's track was finished at all.

Let me explain: For the past 3 years, I've made sure to do a cover of a Take 6 holiday song. Take 6 is considered the very first acapella R&B/Soul "boy band". Their harmonies are tight, their style is jazzy, their tone is silky smooth. And every year I choose this song when I'm programing the season, but by the time it comes to record the song, I don't have the low notes that day to pull of what their bass Alvin Chea can do, and so I have to pick another Take 6 arrangement.

Last night, I meant to record this song before I headed to bed. However, I was so drained from my day Elf-ing, I passed out sooner than expected and woke up at 3am going "Oh CRAP! I still have to record Day 20's song!!!". Here's where the miracle comes into play. I started laying down the bass tracks, and realized that I had a lower register that I'd never sung before. So I made sure to tackle the bass part right away, to take advantage of my new super low notes before they disappeared. I'm super proud of this recording! Enjoy those low notes. It will probably be the one and only time I'll go that low!

Welcome to Day 20, and please enjoy my cover of Take 6's take on Robert MacGimsey's "Sweet Little Jesus Boy".

Please share this holiday spirit with your friends & families, and anyone who you might think may enjoy some acapella Christmas cheer!

Tune in tomorrow for Day 21!!!

Also, please share my advent calendar and the musical Christmas spirit with your friends and families!!! If you have any song ideas, don't hesitate to email AerhynsAcapellaAdvent@gmail.com with your suggestions.
