Hark The Herald Pentatonix Sings


I caught the PTX gang at an exclusive intimate show at The Roxy in Los Angeles, CA last night where they closed with their rendition of "Hark the Herald Angels Sing" off of their just dropped Christmas CD. 

They mixed the song up with an old fashioned revival style gospel arrangement that is da bomb!

Even though Halloween hasn't happened yet, treat yourself to an early  present and get ready for the PTXmas holiday!
