Acappella (Including Current and Past)

Believing in the awesome versatility and flexibility of the human voice, the
renowned vocal group Acappella can fill a large concert hall with beautiful,
intricate music without ever plucking a string or beating a drum.

A member of the Christian Music Hall of Fame, Acappella has sold well over
three million units and toured every continent on the globe since Keith
Lancaster - songwriter, producer and original lead singer - formed the group
in 1982.

After releasing the landmark album Sweet Fellowship, Acappella signed with
Word Records (and later Epic Records), and saw its popularity soar with
releases such as Rescue, We Have Seen His Glory and Set Me Free. The 
song "More Precious Than Gold" became the centerpiece of a Sony Camcorder national television commercial.

Acappella's latest project, Find Your Way, is a mix of strong harmony and
sound biblical lyrics. Featuring Acappella's trademark strong bass and 
soaring tenor, Find Your Way marks a triumphant return for the quintet after
its Radiance project won the 2007 CARA Award for Best Religious Album.

With passion for God and hearts for music ministry, current members Robin
Brannon, Zac George, Anthony Lancaster, Wes McKinzie and Zachary Wilson
continue Acappella's work through high-energy concerts all over the world.

Vocal Union is an all-vocal, contemporary Christian group from Nashville, Tennessee. They began as a group of studio interns in 1995 experimenting with recording vocal arrangements of traditional gospel music. The sound they produced found a niche in many churches around the country, and the decision was made in 1998 to make Vocal Union a touring group.

Vocal Union’s style ranges from high-energy traditional, to tight-harmony jazz and soulful spirituals, to contemporary street corner a cappella. Many of their songs feature vocal percussion and “vocal bass guitar” to firmly establish the rhythmic element, and the inner voicings are meticulously arranged and seriously performed to perfection. The group is blessed with some of the finest soloists in Christian music and all them love to sing with their hearts!
