In addition to all of the great variety of a cappella you can hear ’round the clock here at Acaville Radio, we’re going to bring you some bonus releases each Tuesday to make sure you’re finding all of the latest and greatest this talented community has to offer.
Here are our favorites this week- and yes, there are a lot of holiday tunes – a trend we expect to continue over the next few weeks:
The Swingles
The first video featuring the group’s newest soprano, Federica Basile, is a smash hit. You were expecting anything less?
Voctave
There may be nothing more beautiful than Voctave singing holiday songs. It’s certainly something to look forward to each year, and their latest release “O Come, O Come Emmanuel/The First Noel/I Wonder As I Wander” is as good as it gets.
Y-Studs
Combining the magic of Queen with Hanukkah? We’re here for it.
Six13
More Queen. More Hanukkah. More awesome.
The Turkish a cappella group teamed up with Finnish beatboxer Tuukka Haapaniemi for this performance of Kerimoğlu Zeybeği, mixed by Bill Hare.
Face
Leave it to the all rock band in Colorado to reimagine O Little Town of Bethlehem to the tune of House of the Rising Sun.
Upper Structure
Treat yourself to the talent that just oozes out of these Berklee College of Music students with their lead track from their 2018 ICCA Competition Set, “Freedom.”
Highline Vocal Jazz
In celebration of nearly one year as a group, Highline treated us to an inspired arrangement of O Holy Night.
Venice Vocal Jam
Singing an arrangement by Homestay Music (you know them – it’s Erik Bosio, Vinther Sørensen, and Jussi Chydeniuss) we get some Beatles love out of Italy.
Beatsync
This Toronto group typically performs with a great deal of tech, but for their DCappella Tour submission, they stripped it all down to just acoustic voices.
Scott & Ryceejo
Enjoy this new take on a classic carol from the husband and wife duo out of Utah, singing Silent Night with support from Spark Singers.
AcoUstiKats
You may have become acquainted with this group through The Sing-Off, but the tradition lives on years after the show was retired. Here are the current ‘Kats singing a Nick Johnson arrangement of Deck the Halls:
Association of International Champions
Another gem from the 2018 AIC show, this week we get to relive and enjoy “It’s a Small World” by the full AIC Chorus.
