I knew I was a little weird for a cappella even listening to pop music. When the song begins a cappella, such as the Beach Boys I Get Around, or the instruments drop away for a few measures a cappella, I’m in heaven.
I’ve been singing it now for 25+ years in various ensembles, nothing you’ve heard of, but fun for me. Some of my favorite groups currently are Home Free, Straight No Chaser, Hyannis Sound, Eclipse 6, VoicePlay, Rockapella, Pentatonix, Street Corner Symphony. I’m long-time fans of The Blenders, The Coats (old Trenchcoats), and so many I can’t remember now. On the barbershop side, I’m an old fan of Fred, Keepsake, The Gas House Gang, Bluegrass Student Union, and too many others. And on either side, I love a good comedy ensemble!
New to the Federation, I wanted to create a space for music a cappella style. Here it is. Enjoy. Let’s fill this space with music!
