PRETTY is a collection of 14 original songs written, arranged and produced by Engelhardt, backed by a full band.  Co-produced by keyboard

wizard Bob Malone. Available at Bobs concerts or online.

Invite you to join us for a 7 day workshop at ESALEN IN BIG SUR, CA:
(Come out to California this Summer for a truly magical singing
experience...)

Sunday, June 29th through Sunday, July 6th, 2008

"SOul*VOice* SOng - Your Voice to the Next Level"… This workshop
will
go from learning the basic elements of vocal improvisational sound
to
singing in front of a full a cappella rhythm section; creating the
beginning sounds of a complete drum kit vocally to being part of a
rhythm section as a competent vocal percussionist. You will vocally
explore drumming instruments, rudiments and patterns indigenous to
Western and European music and polyrhythms from around the world.
This exploration will help singers become comfortable with various
meters by understanding the contrapuntal relationships that
make up these various rhythms, it will also help strengthen phrasing
and a sense of song form, emphasizing singing inside the time, a
feel
invaluablein performance and improvisation.

Workshop Leaders take seminarians through an overview of
improvisation as it pertains to negotiating chord changes as well as
exploring intervallic scale-based soloing over one chord vamps,
basic
blues and the chord progressions of popular songs.
We'll also explore the exciting ancient art form of CircleSinging
that is created in a sacred space allowing creativity to arise and
fears to melt away… Finally, we dive into the possibilities of using
basic sound technology to morph and experiment with vocal sounds,
digitally capturing our favorite moments to tape to keep forever.
Experience the voice and all it's possibilities! Sing for your Life!
And all its giving energy = FUN, FUN, FUN!

Entertainment legend XRP—an a cappella group composed of four former
Rockapella members—announced it would make its first major appearance
in 20 years on August 23 at A Cappellastock in Ogden, UT. A
Cappellastock, celebrating its fifth anniversary, is the world's
premier, one-night a cappella music event.

XRP's members, considered by many to be the kings of contemporary a
cappella music, have released award-winning albums and performed
concerts around the world, and were featured by Spike Lee in a highly
acclaimed documentary on a cappella music. Rockapella is remembered
for their work for Folgers, Almond Joy and the hit program Where In
The World Is Carmen San Diego. This is XRP's last scheduled
performance together.

"We're excited about performing together again. This quartet was
my 'dream team'—a group that started a movement of awareness and
appreciation for a cappella music that is still growing, and A
Cappellastock is the proof of that. We may never sing together again,
but it's gonna be one heckuva show!" said Barry Carl, XRP bassist,
who emceed A Cappellastock 2007 and was recently recognized by the
Contemporary A Cappella Society of America as the "the most
influential bass singer of the last 30 years."

  "We can't wait to hit that stage. A Cappellastock does it right.
This is a major league rock show with all the trimmings, and it's the
biggest and best a cappella concert this side of the Rockies," Carl
said. "Purely vocal music appeals to all ages. It's inspirational and
deeply powerful—it just goes straight to the heart. It lifts you up
instead of beating you down. Like the A Capellastock ad says, who
needs guitars?"

In addition to XRP, A Cappellastock'08 will offer fans the
opportunity to experience the vocal stylings of T Minus 5, Hi-
Fidelity, Tonic Sol Fa and the Saltaires. These groups, leaders in
the a cappella community, will come together for one night only to
provide a true vocal adventure—and a good time for music lovers of
all ages.

"Because of what we've created with A Cappellastock—the quality, the
reputation—we've attracted one of the greatest reunions of all time,"
said Jeff Peterson from T Minus 5, the conceptual and inspirational
force behind A Cappellastock. "XRP's involvement has created buzz,
excitement and a lot of electricity, even inspiring people from Japan
to come to Utah for the show."

More than 4,000 people—XRP fans, a cappella enthusiasts and
entertainment lovers—will attend this year's event. Tickets have
already been sold in Japan and nearly 10 states.

Tickets for the show start at $10 and are available at
www.acappellastock.com or by calling 801-452-1481.  For the second
year, the concert also features a VIP ticket, which includes premium
seating, dinner on Historic 25th Street in downtown Ogden, a private
meet-and-greet with the artists and complimentary concessions.

A Cappellastock will be held at the Ogden Amphitheater, an outdoor
venue located in the Historic Municipal Gardens on the corner of 25th
Street and Washington Boulevard in Ogden, UT. In case of inclement
weather, the event will be held at Ogden High School.

ABOUT A CAPPELLASTOCK
Now in its fifth year, A Cappellastock is the world's premier one-
night a cappella adventure, and magically presents the power of the
human voice. Each year, A Cappellastock draws award-winning a
cappella artists and music fans from around the globe.

Hi vocal fans! I'm Dirty Dan Harris, the guy who sings "The Squirrels
Are Trying to Kill Me"
I'm a longtime beatbox artist and comedy A Cappella musician hiding
out in Bellingham, WA. I'm hosting my music here:
http://www.soundclick.com/danharrisandthebellinghamoralpleasure
(Rated PG-13)
I just finished my 4th album "Ghost Town" and I thought you guys might
wanna have a listen. You might be reminded of the Bobs or Frank Zappa.
It's catchy stuff with less than normal lyrics, and plenty of mouth
noises.
Visit me here: http://danharris.atspace.com/ghost.html
You can listen to the album online.
If you like what you hear, and you'd like to help me pay for my monkey
farm.... I mean.. uh help me pay for college... download some mp3s or
buy a CD!
10 years too late, I've mastered the art of the CD hidden bonus track.
and I put something like 10 hidden bonus tracks on this CD. It got a
little out of control. Sorry about that.

A Cappellastock--Get Your Tickets Now!

Get ready for A Cappellastock, August 23rd, 8pm at the Ogden Amphitheater! We are more excited than ever as we are setting records with ticket sales. If you were one of the many who wondered how A Cappellastock could get any better after last year's show, hold on tight because we promise you another A Cappellastock experience that will knock your socks off!

Thanks to all of you, A Cappellastock has become the largest one-night concert of its kind. Now celebrating the fifth year, it has also become Ogden's largest outdoor concert of the year and is starting to draw many from out of state. Former bass of Rockapella Barry Carl said, "A Cappellastock does it right. This is a major league rock show with all the trimmings."

Lineup of groups for A Cappellastock include:

XRP  represents the former members of Rockapella. They kicked off the hit TV game show Where In the World Is Carmen Sandiego?, and started the contemporary a cappella movement. The group has not performed together since 1991, but has decided to come together once more just for A Cappellastock.

Hi-Fidelity is one of the best musical comedy acts in the nation. Their tribute to the original Star Trek Show has won them appearances on X Box Commercials as well as the Last Call with Carson Daily as the joke explainers.

Tonic Sol Fa has sold more than one million CD's, appeared on a Christmas special with PBS, with Jay Leno and many other television personalities.  

T Minus 5 is Ogden's own home-grown a cappella group and continue to perform throughout the West. We can't wait to play host again this year and share with you some truly amazing entertainment.  

The Saltaires have been ranked in the top ten barbershop choruses internationally five times and were named by official declaration "The Cultural Ambassadors of the State of Utah" by Governor Michael O. Leavitt.  We are lucky to have them as our pre-show entertainment.

New a cappella vocal band forming in Portland!

We are two long-time a cappella vets from various groups across the
country:

prolific arranger who founded the well-known Boston vocal band
Downtown Crossing and directed the NY Sweeps runner-up Stay Tuned

O'Clock Shadow, and current bass for Dick Van Dyke and the Vantastix

We are looking to form a five- or six-person vocal band with focus on
high-energy covers (primarily from the late 90's), a few originals by
Eric, and new originals written improv-style by the group.  We are
seeking a (1) baritone/tenor/VP plus (2) 2-3 women of any part, with
the usual features: great ear, knack for blend and harmony, sight
reading, good-nature, ability to improvise/jam a little, and a wicked
sense of humor.  Even better if you can arrange and/or write music,
as well as have some prior a cappella experience of some kind.
Rehearsals will be once a week, on Sunday nights, and primarily at
Eric's lovely home in NE Portland on Sunday nights.

First round auditions will be held in the afternoons the weekend of
Nov 15-16 and in the afternoon on Saturday, November 22 in NE

Gary, thanks for a great show.

Who knew that with only five groups competing that it would be such an
awesome show!

Gary forgot to mention that Rezonate also won Audience Favorite.

Essence of Larynx would like to thank everyone at Saturday's
competition.  The groups were great, friendly, intelligent, and fun to
hang out with.  The audience was warm and wonderful.  The venue staff
was excellent.

And kudos and congratulations to Rezonate!  You'll represent well at

We had a wonderful time in Washington, and hope we can return soon and

100th Sangerfest of the PCNSA. The first Sangerfest was held in Everett, WA in
1903 and celebrated the musical heritage of Norwegian, Scandinavian, and
American male chorus singing which was at it's height in the early 1900's.

The Norsemen mens' chorus of Sonja Lodge will host this year's Sangerfest which
will be highlighted by a Grand Concert which is open to the public.

The twelve member choruses of the PCNSA will be in attendance as well as a guest
chorus: The Hauka Mannskor from Soknedal, Norway. 130 or so singers are
expected.

Tickets for the Grand Concert are $20/each.  The Grand Concert will be held June
26th, 2009 at 7:30 in the Hilton Convention Center in Eugene, OR. For ticket
