Male Contemporary A Cappella Groups

Contemporary a cappella is a broad term, and some contemporary groups are like a good recipe - a pinch of this (rock), a dash of that (pop), just a little shake of that (doo-wop), a teaspoon of this (R&B), a dollop of something spicy (jazz), mix it up in the blender for three minutes, and voila - a contemporary a cappella group! Whether your taste is a little more old-fashioned, four voices alone singing old favorites, or you like the hard-hitting, radio-ready sound of a vocal band doing original tunes, we've got the men's groups doing that work, and particularly, men's groups doing that work well.

Flying Pickets

The Flying Pickets are commonly regarded as being one of the leading pop a-cappella groups in Europe. Their dynamic stage shows and acclaimed innovative albums have all contributed to their recognition as the undisputed masters of their field. The group was first formed in 1982 by members of the 7:84 Theatre group, a socialist fringe theatre group who used acappella singing in a production called One Big Blow, the story of the 1982 miner's strike in England, from the miner's point of view. They enjoyed the singing so much that they started to work around the pubs and clubs of London, at a time when nobody else in the UK was performing pop/rock based acappella, and found immediate success. The first recording was a live show 'Live at the Albany Empire' on the group's own label, which sold so well that they soon came to the attention of Virgin Records, who signed the group in 1983.

Fuenf

Be it with songs about sleep, neurodermatitis, a fondness for kitchen appliances or butcher Tom, the a cappella comedy pop proffered by Fuenf knows no bounds and goes straight for the jugular!

They've covered a lot of ground - both musically and across Germany, including as support band for the likes of Helge Schneider, Pur and Die Prinzen. In their new programme 'Charlie's Angels', once again Fuenf won't be mincing their words as they take their punning ways to new heights in search of the sacred vowel and on a mission to save the world - or at least rock it. It's high time they brought their musical repartee to Leipzig!

Naturally 7

The origins of the group date back to New York City in 1999 when Roger Thomas started the group with his brother, Warren, and five other talented singers they had come to know over the years from singing around the city.

When invited to sing at a major a cappella competition in New York, they won the competition, moved onto the nationals and took away two more wins.

Riding the wave of this newfound success and still unable to decide if Naturally 7 were going to be an a cappella group or a traditional band, Roger had a novel idea: they could be both.

Straight No Chaser

The group originally came together in the fall of 1996 at IU, basically as "10 guys who happened to be good friends who also liked to sing." Choosing the members carefully for personality as well as vocal talent - Stine, Mechling, Jerome Collins, David Roberts and Walter Chase remain from the original lineup -- SNC set itself apart from other a cappella groups with its contemporary repertoire and dynamic approach, quickly headlining concerts both in Bloomington and on road dates. SNC recorded three independent albums, and John Mellencamp even invited the group to his home for a private performance.

When the founders began graduating in 1999 and went on to jobs mostly outside of music, they chose replacements and established SNC as an ongoing group on campus with future generations of ambitious IU undergrads. More than 50 members have passed through the group's ranks so far.

Street Corner Symphony

Street Corner Symphony is a contemporary a cappella group based out of Nashville, Tennessee, founded on 28 May 2010 to compete in NBC's all-vocal competition, The Sing-Off. These southern gents quickly won over Sing-Off judges Ben Folds (Ben Folds Five), Shawn Stockman (Boyz II Men), and Nicole Scherzinger (The Pussycat Dolls), and--most importantly--millions of NBC primetime viewers after demonstrating their unique, laid-back-yet-dynamic style of a cappella. Since their success on The Sing-Off, Street Corner Symphony has made their mark on the music world, recording albums, providing clinics for schools, giving benefits for cancer, performing across the country and around the world, and even working with major artists including Ben Folds, Alison Krauss, and Take 6's Claude McKnight.

Suade

This is vocal music as you've never seen it before. With four amazing voices, world-first live looping and effects technology, crazy stage antics and a wicked sense of humour, SUADE takes stages by storm around Australia and around the globe.

Sweet, close harmony meets new-school beatboxing, multi-microphone live looping, high energy showmanship and no-holds-barred comedy in a unique and memorable new show called VOCALTRONICS that easily scales from small, quiet private rooms, through convention centres, to outdoor stages, concert halls and arenas.

Those Guys

Made up of nine performers who represent a cross-section of the Winnipeg music and theatre community, Those Guys have built a reputation for dynamic, feel-good performances since 2009. Their repertoire, which ranges from The Nylons to Justin Timberlake (and everything in between), features complex (often original) musical arrangements performed without a single instrument. In 2012, Those Guys released their first studio recording, "That Album". Their follow-up EP, "LIVE!", was released in December 2014, followed by a holiday album, "This Christmas", in 2015. Their most recent album, "At Home", comprised entirely of covers of songs by Manitoba artists, was released in February 2020.
