"Some say the best musical instrument of all is the human voice - if you've seen Rockapella you know that's the truth," says USA Today. This five-man powerhouse of vocal talent sweeps through sold-out venues across the country year-round. With an ever-expanding fan base, they're known as the kings of contemporary a cappella. Individually, Rockapella is: Scott Leonard (high tenor), Kevin Wright (tenor), Jeff Thacher (vocal percussionist), George Baldi (bass) and John K. Brown (tenor).
Often imitated; never duplicated, this certifiably unique pop musical group has taken the previously stodgy music genre of a cappella and brought it full-force into the 21st century. Their story is like no other, and they create a sound and impression like no one else!
Rockapella was formed for the sheer love of performing; singing on New York City street corners with a hat out at their feet. They caught the eye of a producer putting together a television special titled Spike & Co.: Do It A Cappella, hosted by filmmaker Spike Lee. This in turn led to a daily appearance on Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego?, a wildly popular kid's game show on public television. Television & radio commercials and international recording contracts followed. Rockapella has released more than 20 albums over the last 18 years, with their most recent titled, Live in Japan.
The 2006-2007 Great Performers Series is sponsored by M&T Bank and WBFO.
