Grammy Award-nominated and globally revered a cappella ensemble, SWEET HONEY IN THE ROCK have released an inspired version of the classic Christmas carol, SILENT NIGHT, their first commercial holiday single ever on CDBaby. Sweet Honey debuted the song live on their current run of seasonal performances this month titled, SWEET HONEY IN THE ROCK: CELEBRATING THE HOLYDAYS. Their holiday caps the year-long celebration of their 40th Anniversary which finishes at the end of this year. The group rushed into the studio to record after hearing a new arrangement of the popular Christmas carol that was written by Carol Maillard, one of its founding members. Its a favorite of our Holydays program, explained Maillard, We feel it evokes a lush and peaceful sentiment, encouraging us all to remember the reason for the season. During these trying times, when we are challenged on every front, we hope this song will bring a sense of calm and hope to all who listen, she added.
