NEW YORK TIMES, ". the most accomplished contemporary a cappella group," Flawless harmonies."

NEW YORK POST, "Rockapella: pure magical talent," ".the hippest and hottest a cappella group to hit the airwaves!

WPLJ New York's hit morning DJ, Todd Pettengill, raved "Rockapella's music is so contagious it should come with a warning label. Five voices that blend into a symphony, Rockapella is the sound of the future, today!

Rockapella, are the worlds leading acapella group, renowned throughout America. They have played theatres all over the world, from Japan to Germany, and now for the first time will be appearing in the UK.

Originally discovered by American film maker Spike Lee, he featured them on his TV programme "Spike and Co", and as their popularity grew they became synonymous as the "voice" of NBC. Later becoming the House Band on the PBS game show called "Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego" ( watched by 10 million viewers!)

Rockapella were then picked up by HBO staring alongside stars such as Whoopi Goldberg and Denzel Washington for the family series "Happily ever after"

Whoopi then invited them onto her own TV special, with the introduction-"These guys knock the S*** out of me-they're amazing!"

All this has been followed by innumerable TV performances e.g.
The Tonight Show with Jay Leno; The Today show; The CBS early morning show.

The Guys biographies from Rockapella, read like a who's who of the music world, including:

George Baldi was in the original Boyz ll Men!; John K Brown has shared stages with Phil Collins, Tina Turner and Julie Andrews; Jeff Thacher is recognised as one of the worlds leading vocal beat boxes and Steve Dorian opened many times for Kenny Rogers.

More recently they were asked to appear with the Boston Pops orchestra, (see link below) and their popularity continues to grow across the USA, Europe and Asia.

In the words or the conductor of the Boston Pops:
"Often imitated, never duplicated, Rockapella remains an innovative burst of talent continuing to sell out venues around the world.

Rockapella, is the sound of the future - Today!
