Welcome one and all to a very early edition of #AerhynsAcapellaAdvent Calendar.
Day 16 is a very special episode because it features the first twist of the season!!! I had Day 16 all planned out since November - but then I came across a video on Facebook.
Three lovely people that I went to music school with in college - Stephanie Lam, Maggie Ma, and Troy Martell - had started an acapella group together: Quayside Voices.
Steph had put up a video of QV doing *her* arrangement of "Here Comes Santa Claus!", complete with a rap. Upon hearing this, I *had* to add her arrangement to this year's playlist!
If you like what you hear, they have two concerts coming up:
TONIGHT (hence why this cover is going up early - you still have time to grab your tickets for the show!!!), they have their "Christmas with Quayside" concert from 1:30pm-4pm at 100 Braid Street Studios in New Westminster (

And then, they're also part of the "Winter Lights Sing-A-Long", the opening gala of sorts for the Winter Celebrations at the Anvil Centre, also in New Westminster - Tuesday, Dec 18th @ 7pm. (

I was really fortunate to be able to collaborate with Quayside Voices for today's cover - especially since they lent me their vocal percussionist Justin Pham for the track!
Please enjoy my cover of Quayside Voice's "Here Comes Santa Claus!", arranged by Stephanie Lam, featuring Justin Pham on VP.
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 an exciting Day 17!!!
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
