Christmas Live

The Sound’s Christmas Live is the faith-based country band’s debut Christmas collection, released October 16, 2026, with an accompanying concert DVD available through Gaither. Built around their three-part harmonies and live acoustic performances, it brings together traditional carols, secular seasonal favorites, and contemporary Christmas songs. Its defining quality is familiarity: the repertoire draws on music that has filled the musicians’ family home for decades, presenting the holiday through close vocal blends and a down-home concert setting. Rather than separating religious celebration from seasonal nostalgia, the collection places them side by side, connecting the group’s gospel background with its country sensibility.

“Winter Wonderland” and “A Holly Jolly Christmas” supply the seasonal exuberance, while “White Christmas,” “Tennessee Christmas,” and “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” emphasize homecoming and remembrance. “Angels We Have Heard on High” and “New Star Shining” give the program its explicitly Christian center, with “Grown-Up Christmas List” widening the focus toward hopes for peace and compassion. The inclusion of the Beatles’ “Here Comes the Sun” offers a less conventional choice, bringing an image of renewal into the Christmas setting, while “I’ll Be Home With Bells On” reinforces the country connection. Across these contrasting selections, the unifying feature is the ensemble’s harmony singing, making the release a communal celebration rather than a showcase for elaborate reinterpretation.
