Group members Scott Hoying, Mitch Grassi, Kirstie Maldonado, Avi Kaplan and Kevin Olusola — who won NBC’s singing competition The Sing-Off in 2011 — will share the upcoming Vol. 3 tracklist on Aug. 12, when its iTunes and Amazon pre-order goes live with the first of two planned instant tracks.
That’s Christmas to Me, named for an original holiday song penned by the group, will include a combination of classic holiday tracks, modern favorites and a one-of-a-kind holiday mash-up.
Earlier this week, the group released a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles track and will appear in Pitch Perfect 2 as a Canadian group that rivals the Barden Bellas.
