Though Dennis van Aarssen released two popular non-seasonal recordings after winning The Voice of Holland 2019, the multi-talented singer, songwriter and leader of the DvA Bigband had his sights set on creating a holiday album even before he had a career in music. Living up to his bold statement that “Christmas is something that just belongs to me,” he was inspired to record his festive collection CHRISTMAS WHEN YOU’RE HERE by Jamie Cullum. Animated by a vibrant 20+ piece big band, these songs, penned with American songwriters Jeff Franzel and Maria Christensen, feel as powerfully evergreen as the classics. Van Aarssen adds to the bliss with the album’s new DELUXE EDITION, featuring the brand new, finger snappin' hit "Hitch A Ride With Santa."
