Send Email Send Email
  
Love to sing a cappella harmony? Love quarteting?

If heaven looks to you like a weekend spent singing spectacular
championship level songs in potentially hundreds of quartet
combinations with 128 other exceptionally well prepared male harmony
singers from all over the Mid Atlantic states, this extraordinary
annual event may be for you.

The Atlantic Harmony Brigade is quarteter's workshop/network/ retreat
weekend that culminates in a performance. It is for savvy, experienced,
fast learning, musically ambitious singers. Invitations are awarded to
qualified applicants only.

Though it is geared to advanced barbershop harmony singers it is
potentially open all men who are self-starters with strong musical and
singing backgrounds and a fierce work ethic and crdible references to
support that. The music is challenging and the standards exacting.
Sheet music and isolated voice part CD learning materials are provided;
reading is a plus but not as essential as pitch and rythmic accuracy
and the ability to completely memorize 12 songs in 16 weeks on your own
prior to the event.

If you are in a harmony quartet and are looking to fill a vacancy or if
you want to find a quarter looking to fill a vacancy or if you want to
form a new one and want to mix it up with 128 exceptionally driven and
capable singers this may be for you.

For details go to: www.AtlanticHarmonyBrigade.com , then, to
participate, go to: "Participating" and then go to "Apply to Join"

HARVARD KROKODILOES PRESENT "THE IVY LEAGUE IN CONCERT" AT ZANKEL
HALL AT CARNEGIE HALL, MARCH 9, 2008
Special guests: The Yale Whiffenpoofs and the Princeton Tigertones

present "THE IVY LEAGUE IN CONCERT" at Zankel Hall at Carnegie Hall,
Seventh Avenue between 56th Street and 57th Streets.  The HARVARD
KROKODILOES OF 2008 with special guests the YALE WHIFFENPOOFS and
the  PRINCETON TIGERTONES, will perform an exciting mix of music
ranging from traditional folk tunes to the great standards of
Gershwin, Porter, and Berlin to the rollicking sounds of '50s rock
to contemporary pop — all mixed with dancing, humor, and special
surprises.   Ticket prices range from $30 to $40 and are available
at www.carnegiehall.org or through CarnegieCharge at 212-247-7800.

About THE HARVARD KROKODILOES
Harvard University's oldest a cappella singing group was founded in
1946 by members of the historic Hasty Pudding Club/Institute of
1770.  Inspired by the Club's reptilian mascot, these singers
appropriated the Greek word for crocodile, and the Harvard
Krokodiloes (a.k.a. "the Kroks") were born.   Over the years, the
Kroks have grown into a 12-man professional ensemble that performs
over 200 concerts a year in the United States and on annual world
tours of the Americas, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and
Australia. The Harvard Krokodiloes' reputation for musical
excellence has earned them invitations to appear at important venues
including New York's Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center; Boston's
Symphony Hall as featured guests with Sarah Jessica Parker and the
Boston Pops;  the Cairo Opera House (Egypt); and England's Aldeburgh
Festival.   The group numbers among its fans past and present
luminaries such as President Bill Clinton, Princess Grace of Monaco,
the Aga Khan, Ella Fitzgerald; and Maestro Leonard Bernstein, who
composed several works for the group.  National TV audiences have
seen them on Good Morning America, The Tonight Show, and Great
Performances/Evening at Pops,  and the ensemble has appeared on
major television programs in France, Germany, Japan, and South
Korea.

  About THE YALE WHIFFENPOOFS
Every year, fourteen senior men are selected to be in the Yale
Whiffenpoofs, the world's oldest a cappella group.  Founded in 1909,
the "Whiffs" began as a senior quintet that met for concerts at
Mory's Temple Bar, the renowned Yale tavern that dates back to 1849.
Notable appearances include concerts for the Dalai Lama, Mother
Theresa, Presidents Reagan, Bush, and Clinton; in venues such as
Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, and the Rose Bowl; for events such as
the World Series; and on TV shows such as Saturday Night Live, NBC's
Today Show, and The West Wing.   The Whiffenpoofs maintain a
performance schedule of over 200 concerts annually, in addition to
recording an album and conducting a 17-week world tour.

About THE PRINCETON TIGERTONES
The Tigertones are Princeton's signature all male a cappella group.
Founded in 1946, the Tiger Tones have performed throughout the
United States and abroad, with performances in  Israel, Greece,
Japan, and Jamaica.  Highlights of  their performances include
Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center; concerts for President Bill
Clinton; Israeli President and the late Prime Minister Yitzhak
Rabin, and celebrities ranging from Danny Devito to Brooke Shields.
The ensemble has been featured in publications including The New
York Times, Life Magazine, and Rolling Stone, as well as on numerous
domestic and international radio and television programs.

Rent will be a memory in a few months. It is a show
very close to my heart.  I am looking to share the
final performance with my heart and souls: the closest
people in my life. I am looking for any tickets I can
get a hold of for the June 1, 2008 final show of Rent.
Name a price.  I will try my best to match it.

If you know anyone that has an extra ticket or know
how I could get a ticket to this already sold-out show
please let me know.

Again this would mean the world to me.  The show has
impacted my life and it would be an amazing privilege
to watch the final landmark show to end an incredible
piece of theatre history.

Measure in Love,

Subject: Give Me That Old-Time Singing 		producerguy101

TIME Magazine
Thursday, Jan. 17, 2008
By DAVID VAN BIEMA

One Saturday in January, a well-dressed man strolling Manhattan's
recently gentrified Lower East Side unexpectedly found his way blocked
by 35 people singing on the sidewalk. The lyrics were somber--"Then
shall the dust return ... to God who gave it"--but the delivery was
joyful. Asked what he thought was going on, he ventured, "I dunno. A
funeral?"

Actually, it was a resurrection. The singers--housewives, ex-punkers,
Evangelicals, atheists, Jews and Buddhists waiting for their usual
venue above a local bar to open--were devotees of a Christian
four-part choral style called Sacred Harp (the name refers to the
human voice and a songbook published in 1844). Once America's dominant
religious music, it was eclipsed after the Civil War. By 1960, say
scholars, as few as 1,000 people clustered in the Deep South knew the
style.

Yet today there are some 20,000 devotees across the country singing
songs like Pisgah and Weeping Sinners. The website fasola.org lists a
"singing" near you on almost any weekend. A documentary, Awake My
Soul: The Story of the Sacred Harp, is airing on more than 120 public
TV stations, and an album is in the works featuring alt-folk god
Sufjan Stevens, alt-country hero Jim Lauderdale and (!) Led Zeppelin's
John Paul Jones.

This kind of thing has precedent. In 1997 the album The Buena Vista
Social Club hit big with a sound defunct even in its native Cuba. In
2000 the old-timey twang of the Coen Brothers' film O Brother, Where
Art Thou? grabbed a handful of Grammys. How do you revive an art form?
A few hints: Be weird--but worthy.

Nothing is weirder than Sacred Harp. Its favored subject matter--the
pilgrim, the grave, Christ's blood--is stark; its style--severe
fourths and otherworldly open fifths--has been obsolete for more than
a century. Its notation, in which triangles, circles and squares
indicate pitch, looks like cuneiform. Yet it exudes power and
integrity. Five people sound like a choir; a dozen like a hundred. It
is one of the most democratic choral forms: no audience, no permanent
conductor--just people addressing one another and God.

Almost every revived American folk-music form was once recorded for
the Library of Congress by musicologist Alan Lomax. He taped Sacred
Harp in 1942 and '59. Unlike other finds such as Leadbelly, it failed
to spark during the 1960s folk revival, but musicologists were
infected. Now the form had imitable LPs and an academic beachhead.

In the early 1990s, punk rockers, says singer Tim Eriksen, "were
looking for that kind of intensity in other music." Eriksen's band,
Cordelia's Dad, and other postpunks seized Sacred Harp and exported it
to trendsetting places from Northampton, Mass., to Portland, Ore.

Bob Dylan made a pilgrimage to Woody Guthrie. Decades later, Southern
Sacred Harp royalty generously embraced the wild-eyed newcomers--many
of whom were nonbelievers--in what Awake My Soul co-director Matt
Hinton calls "red-state, blue-state harmony."

T-Bone Burnett, who shaped the sound of O Brother, Where Art Thou?,
did the same on Anthony Minghella's Civil War film Cold Mountain.
Minghella hired Eriksen to sing a non-Harp song but was lured to Harp
mecca Henagar, Ala. One result, Idumea, plays hauntingly over a battle
scene--and won a new batch of fans. "I went in because of Jude Law but
left with Sacred Harp," says New Yorker Anna Hendrick, 22.

After 45 minutes on the sidewalk, Hendrick and the other Manhattan
harpers move inside and dig in. Singings can last two days. Today the
group logs just three hours. "Join in a song in sweet accord," advised
one of the afternoon's tunes. And so they did.

Soprano and bass needed for a cappella group.
Three singer-arrangers are seeking two passionate
and dedicated musicians for our group. The ultimate
goal being a steady working group.

Some influences include:
Vox One, M-Pact, Sixth Wave,
Cluster, Take 6 etc...
We're a 'jazz' group primarily, but not
exclusively. Solid musicianship is
most important, which means you can sight read,
have solid vocal technique and feel comfortable
singing lead and/or blend with lush harmonies
(requiring zero vibrato).
Additionally, if you're skilled in vocal
percussion, improvisation (scat/riff),
arranging/composing, you're especially
encouraged to get in touch.

ABOVE ALL, we're looking for a bass and soprano
who have a serious love and passion for this art and are
willing to truly commit their time and energy
(we're looking to rehearse 2x times a
week).

Soon as we get a few tunes down, we'll gig, record,
and if you respond quickly, we'll participate in the
Harmony Sweeps (a miracle considering the 2-6 cutoff).
Thank god we're geniuses!

Looking forward to hearing you!

GREETINGS, ATLANTIC COAST BOBS FANS!!!

The Bobs hit the road in Virginia, New Jersey and New York for their first full tour in 2008, featuring their new album, GET YOUR MONKEY OFF MY DOG.
(You'd be amazed how often that phrase comes up in casual conversation.)
You are in for some serious fun!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
TUESDAY 3/11/08 - CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA
GRAVITY LOUNGE
103 South First Street, Charlottesville VA
tix/info (434) 977-5590
www.gravity-lounge.com 
 
The Bobs have often been accused of defying gravity... even though it is apparently
a federal law.   See if you can handle the truth at their first show at Charlottesville's
hep Gravity Lounge. Staunton, Afton, Harrisonburg, Richmond fans - come on out to 
this midweek treat to welcome The Bobs back to Virginia!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

WEDNESDAY 3/12/08 - VIENNA, VA
THE BARNS OF WOLF TRAP 
1645 Trap Road Vienna, VA
tix/info (703) 255-1868
www.wolf-trap.org 
The Bobs return to their favorite venue in the US with their new CD.  Monkeys, dogs,
everyone is welcome at The Barns! Do NOT miss this annual treat.  
There's so much new music they CAN'T have an opening act!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

THURSDAY 3/13/08 - TRENTON, NJ
ON PATRIOTS' STAGE - THE WAR MEMORIAL 
1 Memorial Drive Trenton, NJ
tix/info (609) 984-8400
www.onpatriotsstage.com  
Trenton makes, The Bobs take.  (Or whatever it says on that Route 1 bridge New Jersey-bred
Amy Bob is always quoting...) This intimate series, set onstage at the War Memorial is a new band 
favorite.  Maybe they'll sing "Beluga" again, just to see if another whale swims up the Delaware 
afterwards!  A great place to hear the new tunes. GET YOUR WHALE OFF MY DOG?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

FRIDAY 3/14/08 - BINGHAMTON, NY
NIGHT EAGLE CAFE 
200 State Street  Binghamton, NY
tix/info (607) 217-7334
www.nighteaglecafe.org 
Back in the 607!   The last time The Bobs played the Night Eagle, it was strictly
DIY - they were literally hammering up the walls at its new location in downtown
 Binghamton.  Of course, once The Bobs started singing the walls came down again....
Come on out to hear the new album. Maybe this time they'll dress up for ya!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

SATURDAY 3/15/08 - PAWLING, NY
THE TOWNE CRIER 
130 Route 22  Pawling, NY
tix/info (845) 855-1500
www.townecrier.com 

They're baaaaaaaaaaaack.  (Lock up the desserts, Phil.)  Hands down, the best acoustic
music venue in the region.  And come early for dinner.  Seriously.  I wouldn't mislead
you on this one.  When The Bobs play anywhere else in this area,
they come here for dinner first. YOU WILL LOVE THIS PLACE - a perennial Bobs tour stop!


*********************************************************************************************************

GET YOUR MONKEY OFF MY DOG
What's that? You don't have The Bobs' new CD yet?
What else would you give someone for the Ides of March!?!?!
Oh, well then get it at a show, or just CLICK HERE

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
and coming in MARCH 2008

NOT GONNA BE PRETTY

Coldfoot Records announces the release of
Amy Bob Engelhardt's solo project

Although primarily known as 'Amy Bob,' goofy spitfire and sole female
member of Grammy-nominated vocal quartet, THE BOBS,
Amy Engelhardt cuts straight to the heart of the matter - and the grey matter.
By turns provocative and pensive, NOT GONNA BE PRETTY is a collection
of 14 original songs written, arranged and produced by Engelhardt, backed by a full
band. As a pop and theater writer beyond the comic boundaries of The Bobs, Engelhardt
evokes artists like Suzanne Vega, Alanis Morrissette, Joe Jackson. and Ben Folds.
 Sardonic and smart without mercy.
Co-produced by keyboard wizard Bob Malone.
Available at Bobs concerts beginning in March.

Hey all,

I'm relatively new to New York and I'm looking for groups that may need
a bari/tenor 2.  I've sung in acappella groups for about the past ten
years in semi-pro and, before that, collegiate acappella.  I prefer pop
but am open to and have enjoyed singing in jazz and chorale groups.
I'm laid back but passionate about music and acapella in particular, a
fast learner and easy to get along with.

Email me and I can tell you more.
Thanks very much!

Ramy Inocencio

Newly formed vocal band on Long Island is looking for one or possibly
two more voices to round out our sound! Repertoire is contemporary pop
music-- mostly covers but will be branching into originals. We're
looking for a low alto or tenor with great stage presence, experience
singing a cappella, and a desire to start up a new project with a great
group of people! If this sounds like you, or you would like more
information, please drop us a line-- auditions are ongoing. Rehearsals
are in Western Suffolk.
