The urban a cappella band THREE 5 AND 6, www.three5and6.com is
actively seeking a bass to replace an outgoing member and are looking
to add a 6th member -- another tenor. The band is located in
Sacramento, CA and is currently making a push for full-time status
within the year.

This Christian, all male group imitates the full depth of
instrumental sounds found in a classic R&B or funk band as opposed to
the traditional "blended, one-voice" A Cappella sound. Their powerful
beats and bass drive a truly dynamic musical experience that fully
engages the listener.

THREE 5 AND 6 performs their own original music with a writing style
that displays a wide range of influences from Stevie Wonder and The
Gap Band to The Roots and KRS-One. Their debut CD, "Urban A Cappella"
is receiving incredible reviews and their original song, "Radiant
Love" was just awarded 2nd place in Billboard Magazine's World Song
Competition.

If you are interested or know of someone who might be, please contact
THREE 5 AND 6 at: 916-361-7777 or info@...

The Salt Lake Tribune, the largest newspaper in Utah, ran an article
about Sissel in Sunday's paper.

A voice to match the majesty of Norway
Sissel Kyrkjebo, a star of the Lillehammer Games and a favorite of LDS
missionaries, comes to Utah
By Celia R. Baker
The Salt Lake Tribune

If you think Sissel Kyrkjebo is not a household name in Utah, there
are certain households you have not considered. Like the home of Orem
resident Erlend Peterson, whose children awakened each Saturday of
their lives to Norwegian pancakes on the griddle and Sissel on the stereo.
Peterson, a former president of the LDS Church's mission in Norway,
has plenty of company in his enthusiasm for the Norwegian singer. Her
recordings are heard in many Utah homes with someone who once lived in
Norway. And, the clear, pure voice of Sissel - she goes by her first
name professionally - has probably even echoed through your own home,
unbeknownst to you. The haunting, wordless voice heard in James
Horner's film score for the movie "Titanic" belongs to her.
By the time Horner heard Sissel's voice on a tape of Norwegian folk
music, and recognized it as the sound he was seeking for his 1998 film
score, her singing was popular throughout Europe, especially in
Scandinavia. Early recordings celebrating her native culture endeared
her to Norwegians and led to solo performances in the opening and
closing ceremonies of the 1994 Olympic Winter Games in Lillehammer.
She has sold more than 9 million solo albums worldwide - a number
nearly twice as large as the population of Norway.
Horner wrote Sissel's parts in the "Titanic" film score
specifically for the qualities of her voice, "using it like an
instrument," she said. She watched the movie's evocative scenes of ice
and immensity in the North Atlantic as she recorded the tracks, "so I
could get the tensions and emotions of the pictures into my music."
Translating geography into music is one of Sissel's gifts. She grew
up just outside the ancient coastal city of Bergen, "called Capital of
the Fjords," Sissel said in lilting English during a trans-Atlantic
telephone interview. "It's surrounded with mountains and the ocean. I
would say it's the most beautiful place on Earth, of course.
"I often say that nature shapes your personality and your mental
health," she said. "I was brought up in nature, in a very relaxed
atmosphere - a life filled with harmony and love. The people living in
Norway are so lucky living in this beautiful country. That gives us a
lot of positive thinking. I feel very Norwegian because Mother
Nature is such a big part of me. I'm so proud of my country."
Fans of Sissel's music say they can imagine the peaks and fjords of
Norway when she sings. Utahns with connections to Norway already are
making plans to be present when Sissel performs here for the first
time this week - at a concert on the Brigham Young University campus
and with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir on its weekly international
broadcast.
Jason Henderson, vice president of Frontier Scientific Inc. in
Logan, has known about Sissel since her career was just taking off in
Norway nearly 20 years ago. He met the singer twice while serving an
LDS mission there from 1986 to 1988. The first time, Sissel signed
albums for Henderson and his missionary companion outside a concert
hall in Bergen. The hopeful missionaries signed a copy of the Book of
Mormon for her.
Henderson was surprised when the pretty young singer recognized him
later in Oslo and greeted him with a traditional Norwegian "klem" - a
cheek-to-cheek hug. Though pleased, Henderson was "pretty
uncomfortable," since LDS missionaries are expected to keep the
opposite sex at
arm's length.
"All the missionaries I was with have her albums," Henderson said.
"She just has a really wonderful voice."
Missionaries in Norway liked the fact that Sissel was a
wholesome-looking performer whose songs were "things you could feel
comfortable about listening to as a missionary," he said.
And, like the Norwegian people who embraced her music, missionaries
loved the way Sissel's music captured the beauty and serenity of the
Norwegian landscape and culture. Robert A Jones, who served a mission
to Norway in 1989 to 1991, created a Web site dedicated to Sissel and
her music in 1997, and still updates it with news about Sissel.
"Her earlier albums, in the Norwegian language, were a reminder for
me of the experience of living in Norway," Jones said.
Sissel said she was surprised at first to learn that she had a fan
base in Utah made up mostly of one-time missionaries. She said she has
"never attended a Mormon church" but is nonetheless delighted to be
performing with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir in a program that
celebrates Norway's 100 years of independence and the Norwegian roots
of many members of the faith.
"I love to sing with people who have belief," she said. "That is
very special."
Singing religious songs with the Tabernacle Choir might remind
Sissel of her childhood experiences singing with a church children's
choir in Bergen, which she cites as an important influence on her
angelic vocal sound. At the BYU concert, her song list will be more
diverse.
"I started singing a mixture of folk, classical and popular music
in the 1980s. Nobody had invented the words 'classical crossover'
then, but I've always been doing this. . . . It will be fascinating to
see how American musicians play Norwegian music. They say music is the
international language - we'll see if it works."

The sizzle of Sissel

Norwegian singer Sissel Kyrkjebo performs Saturday at 7:30 p.m. in
the de Jong Concert Hall in the Harris Fine Arts Center on the Brigham
Young University campus, Provo. Tickets are $12. Call 801-422-7664.
http://artcom.byu.edu

Sissel will perform with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, accompanied
by the Orchestra at Temple Square, on a May 1 broadcast of "Music and
the Spoken Word" from the Conference Center in Salt Lake City. The
broadcast airs at 9:30 a.m. on radio, television, cable and satellite.
Doors to the Conference Center open at 8 a.m. After the 30-minute
broadcast, Sissel will sing additional selections for the live audience.

KBYU Channel 11 will broadcast a PBS special, "Sissel in Concert:
All Good Things," today at 3 p.m. and Monday at 8 p.m.

Just want to let everyone know that Groove Society's premiere CD is
now available!

Groove Society is a Denver-based jazz/R&B a cappella sextet. We've
been working extensively in the Rocky Mountain West since 2002 and
are now ready to let the rest of the world hear what we're about.
There's something for everyone on this CD: Jazz, Latin, R&B and pop
styles all infused with modern jazz voicings and grooves that will
take over your body!

"Just when you think you may have heard the `best', a vocal group
completes a long-standing effort to achieve perfection and the
marker is moved up.  From the opening tune, `Oye Como Va' through
the last ballad `When October Goes', the stylish rhythms and
phrasings, the impeccable harmonies and stunning solos, and the
driving blend that never falters, all tell you this is a unique
effort by a very talented ensemble.... the best I could imagine
placing before the world stage.  It's golden.  Acquire it any way
you can!"
					 -Rol Sharette, The Colorado
Songster

The CD opens on Tito Puente's "Oye Como Va" complete with Santana-
like distorted guitar and authentic sounding Latin percussion,
followed by an intricate, mixed-meter rendition of "Summertime."
Next up is "Talvez Seja Voce" (formerly titled "Brasilia"), an
original jazz samba, co-written by our own Joe Herbert, that has
become a favorite among college jazz choirs around the world!  Other
cuts include LaDamion's lusciously arranged cover of SWV's "Rain",
and Joe's 10-minute vocal endurance challenger, "Tribute to Earth
Wind & Fire" that has us singing four EWF songs simultaneously!
Whether you're into a well-blended ensemble sound or tasty solos, we
believe that we've created a product that will please any devoted a
cappella fan.

The CD can be purchased on our website at www.groovesociety.org .
Let us know what you think!

Thanks,
Joe and Bianca Herbert

Pacific Northwest regional champs Groove For Thought took top honors
this weekend by being crowned National Champions at the Harmony
Sweepstakes A Cappella Festival National Finals. With only a few
points separating the groups it was one of the closest competitions in
years and once again the sell-out crowd was treated to some top notch

As producers of the show we try hard every year to truly find the most
exciting groups from around the country and to have the event be a
showcase, not only for them, but for a cappella music in general. I
think we can confidently say we have accomplished that once again this
year.

regional producers for all their hard work and a special thanks to the
audiences who year after year come out and support our shows. Here are
the complete results.

For that moment, the spirit of Christmas came alive in your heart.
Bringing joy to others, you braved the cold night in hopes of returning

The Christmas spirit remains strong within the hearts of The Christmas
Carolers.  In 1996, a new company was born that experienced immediate

traditions more than ever before. There has never been a better time or
more fertile marketplace for The Christmas Carolers.

The Christmas Caroler's perform traditional Christmas pieces with their
unique blend of a cappella harmony dressed in authentic 19th century
English costumes, reminiscent of the Charles Dickens era. They stroll
from table to table, store to store or door to door creating a
wonderful seasonal atmosphere.

Our very attainable goal is to set the benchmark for the highest
standard of holiday entertainment available. Our mission is to provide
clients with the finest á cappella quartets costumed in 19th century
English attire at a reasonable hourly rate.  If you're apart of a group

5) Download news

Thanks to all of you who took advantage of our free music downloads over the
past month.  During the time near the release of Episode III, Star Wars was
downloaded almost 5,000 times.  Harry Potter has been downloaded over 3,000
times, and the British version of HP over 1,000 times.  Thank you for helping
to spread our music around!  The free downloads will be gone for a while as we
get the new cd rolling.  However, we’ve been compiling live tracks, improv
requests, and other goodies that just might end up on the downloads section
sometime… so stay tuned.

6) Important film update

I watched Nausicaa in the Valley of the Wind last night.  Cool movie.

7) farewell

Yup.

Hey yoy, sorry about this, but our July 4th time has been changed from 1 pm to
12 noon.  Arts Festival at America's Freedom Festival at Provo.  July 4.  Rock.

2005 A Cappellastock in Ogden, Utah

Saturday August 27 7 pm

Full info at

www.acappellastock.com

Hi-

I'm hoping to organize a listing of adult groups that sing in the college a
cappella tradition... meaning that:

a) there are 9 to 20 singers
b) the repertoire is mostly "contemporary" a cappella
c) most or all of the singers are college graduates

The point of the listing will be to help graduating college a cappella
singers find groups to sing with.

If you are in such a group, or know of such a group, please send me the
following information:

1) group name
2) city/state
3) male/female/mixed
4) URL, email address and/or telephone contact

Thanks!

So,

somebody asked us if we were going to be at the Timpanogos Storytelling Festival
this year.  We told them, because it was the truth at that time, that we were
not scheduled.

Well, now we are.

So get on over to www.timpfest.org and buy your tickets, and get out to this
event!  It's aweSOME.  We're singing 12:30-1:30 on Saturday.  That's THIS
Saturday.  Don't dawdle.

Other things:

We've had great reviews so far about udder won.  You can read some of them on
the web site.  More to be added soon.

Speaking of web site, there are some cool things that have been added: we added
a lyrics page, with all our album lyrics, in addition to cool trivia and
information about the songs, listed.  Also songs you only hear at live shows,
also many you have positively never heard before (like the five songs that
didn't make it on udder won?  Aren't you dying to know what they were?).  Also,
general album trivia and lots of nonsense.

We're also awarding special moosebucks, virtual money exchangeable for real
merchandise, for editorial help - fill in the blanks, win a prize.  So to
speak.

Lots of other shows coming up - make sure to check the calendar (it only takes a
minute and it saves trees.  I think).

Be good arrrrrrrr

Hi everybody!

I apologize for the group mailing, but wanted to let you all know about
Octappella's newest CD. As most of you know I sing with a vocal
contemporary a cappella group. After three long years (as opposed to
three short years), we (Octappella) have completed our third album,
titled WORSHIP.

As the name implies, it is a compilation of 17 religious tunes--some
original and some familiar--all with new and unique arrangements.

We have truly put our hearts and souls into this music and hope it will
be an influence for good for years to come.

If you'd like to check out the CD you can listen to sound clips and such
by going to

  http://www.octappella.com/store.htm

If you like what you hear, please help us spread the word! Let your
friends and family know about us!


You can also find out when we are going to be singing next at

http://www.octappella.com

Hope you are all doing well!


Sincerely,

Matt Cropper

Hey there Blue Jupiter Fans-

Wow.  Thursday's Live album concert was amazing.  This was one of the
most fun concerts I've performed with Blue Jupiter yet.  For all who
haven't heard, Blue Jupiter recorded a live concert for our new
album "Blue jupiter, Live in New York City" due out this Xmas season.
The audience was incredible.  A big thank you to all who came.
We had fans come from all over: Utah, MD, NJ, Ohio, PA, Atlanta,
Minnesota...we had fans that flew in for the night, drove for 8+
hours on a Greyhound bus only to turn around again & travel home the
same night. I was really touched by all of the support.
I think (keep your fingers crossed.....) we turned out a kick butt
album from it!

We're getting ready to go on our National Xmas tour & working hard on
our next studio
album.

***Listen for us on the radio-our Oreo Jingle is everywhere
nationally!

I posted the set list from the Vocal Chords show below for anyone who
wants to see it
