Christmas Music 2011 #2 Eclipse

Another new Christmas album that came out this year is by A fantastic Accappella group that I have been enjoying for a few years.  This is their second Christmas album and sixth album overall, it is called "It's Christmas Time"  The band is made up of six guys:
Paul Hansen

Kevin Jones
Jake Despain


James Case
Dan Kartchtner
Shayne Taylor
 They have been singing together for about ten years and really have a great sound.  They started singing together when they were students at Utah State University and have had a couple changes in personnel since.  The members of the group are almost all return missionaries for the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, having served from Bangkok Thailand to Vancouver Canada.  Most are married with children and all love to sing having long histories of singing individually and in groups.


 Here is a video with a very quick summary of the songs on the new Christmas album. It is only a minute long:

Here is a full version of one of their songs from the Christmas Album
Do You Hear What I Hear by Eclipse.

This last video is a promo video that has a sampling of several of their songs both Christmas and otherwise.  It is fun to get an eight minute smattering of the various types of music that they sing. 

Hope you enjoy their music as much as I do!

  1. Sweet!!! I have seen eclipse's new Christmas CD on the Deseret book website and wondered how it was. I do not wonder anymore since I now know it's excellent!!! :) I really like their stuff and especially these Christmas songs!!! Remember when you gave me money in college to get a Capella jam (or whatever it was called) tickets for Megan and I? That was so much fun!! Can't wait to enjoy some of this great music at home with you guys!!! :)
