The American Caroling Company
Making Christmas Music Magic since 2008The ACC began in Nashville, Tennessee in 2008. Jaclyn Brown, the company’s Executive Director, was approached for a corporate holiday event featuring professional Christmas caroling. When two more clients requested similar events shortly thereafter, she realized there was a vacant niche in Nashville’s rich music scene, one she filled with Christmas magic and the incredible talents of Nashville’s finest vocalists.
The American Caroling Company quickly became known for its gorgeous blend of a cappella voices, theatrical presentations, and original arrangements built to suit individual skills of its professional performers. Their high talent level, passion, and dedication to professionalism allowed the carolers to perform at venues from hotel ballrooms, corporate parties, private homes, city events, and even stadiums. It wasn’t long before they were performing Christmas parties for A-list celebrities, Fortune 500 companies and professional sports teams.
They soon began performing in other major cities like San Antonio, Chicago, and New York City. They turned heads with their harmonies and authentic Victorian-era costumes. Designed by Pam Lisenby, the Nashville Opera costume designer whose work has been worn by Nicole Kidman and Dolly Parton among others, the costumes transformed concerts into magical Christmas experiences. They soon added other fun, modern apparel options, and before long the carolers were including Mr. & Mrs. Claus, Santa’s elves, the Grinch, and more to their performances in order to create unique and memorable events for their audiences. Today The American Caroling Company spreads musical joy across the country, any time of the year, including Spring Carols, Patriotic Performances, and Halloween Tunes. Whether performing for private parties or corporate holiday events, The American Caroling Company maintains its dedication to high-quality, gorgeous a cappella entertainment experiences.
