Stone Country Records' rising star Ben Gallaher today released a new version of an all-time favorite yuletide classic, "Carol of the Bells," but not before putting his own unique twist on it.
While Gallaher is a triple-threat singer, songwriter and guitarist, this exciting instrumental track showcases his virtuosic musicianship on acoustic guitar. Completely reinventing the popular holiday tune “Carol of the Bells” – written in 1914 by Ukrainian composer Mykola Leontovych – “Carol of the Strings” was arranged, performed and produced solely by Gallaher.
