    Silva & Steini – Christmas Time Is Here

    SILVA & STEINI REIMAGINE HOLIDAY CLASSICCHRISTMAS TIME IS HEREFROM A CHARLIE BROWN CHRISTMAS

    Download it now for holiday radio airplay.

    Christmas Time Is Here” is one of my favorite holiday songs. It’s not Christmas until I hear the song at my parents’ house, and everyone sings along.” – Silva

    I love singing this one with Silva. It’s such a beautiful melody; like a distillation of every positive Christmas memory there is. There’s something reflective and otherworldly about it too.” – Steini

    Reykjavík, Iceland-based musicians Silva & Steini reimagine the classic “Christmas Time Is Here,” the popular Christmas standard written by Vince Guaraldi and Lee Mendelson for the 1965 television special A Charlie Brown Christmas. This updated recording features a gorgeously lush arrangement that finds their vocals and harmonies accompanied by the warm and dreamlike tones of a Wurlitzer, the muted sounds of a felted piano, and the ethereal texture of a shimmering vibraphone.
