December 22 at 7 pm (Friday)

A Rockapella Christmas  **

Rockapella's Christmas show is a "must see" event. With their completely original take on the holidays, Rockapella creates a light-hearted and unforgettable holiday experience as they travel the country spreading musical holiday cheer. From unique spins on classic favorites, to brand new originals destined to become classics, audiences of all ages can expect to be charmed by a holiday performance by this awe-inspiring, five-man powerhouse of vocal talent.

This is the second holiday season featuring the newest Rockapella lineup. A Rockapella Christmas features thunderous Bass-man Bryant Vance - one of those rare truly "basso profundo" voices, and his smooth grooviness is a deliciously fresh foundation for the classic Rockapella sound. Newcomer Mitchell Rains brings a new dynamic energy and all-around talent that rounds out the new Rockapella experience. The soulful voice of Calvin Jones continues to wow audiences. "Something special happens when Calvin sings. We're so lucky to have his magic voice in the Rockapella sound," says Scott Leonard, Rockapella's primary songwriter and arranger, who joins longtime powerhouse mouth drummer Jeff Thacher onstage. "Our success is in the art of it – it's not what you do, but how you do it," says Thacher.  Add Leonard, "The tightness and energy and fun of this new group makes me wanna kiss somebody."

This holiday show will feature the a cappella debuts of "Little Drummer Boy" (featuring Rockapella's full-sized drummer boy, Jeff Thacher), "O Little Town of Bethlehem", and a Scott Leonard/Masahiro Ikumi original, "Christmas Altogether". Audiences can expect the classic, Rockapella-fied versions of favorites like "Silver Bells", "Winter Wonderland", "The Chipmunk Song", "Rudolph The Red-nosed Reindeer", "Glowworm", "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree", as well as newer Rockapella holiday hits like "Wonderful Christmastime", "Jingle Bell Rock", "Matunda Ya Kwanzaa", and "Angels We Have Heard On High". Also rumor has it A Rockapella Christmas will somehow involve sombreros.

Many of the songs from the tour are on Rockapella's albums "Comfort & Joy," "Christmas," and their most recent, "A Rockapella Holiday."  The albums are available through www.rockapella.com.

Tickets start at $32

About Rockapella

They've become one of the world's most sophisticated, lasting, and imitated vocal groups around today. You'd be hard-pressed to find a more influential group out there in this new era of movies like Pitch Perfect, network television a cappella shows, and innumerable college vocal groups that own the corner of cool on campuses everywhere.

Since the early '90's when they first achieved national television fame on PBS's Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego?, they've toured the globe and provided a funky powerful soundtrack to several generations of vocal music fans, while keeping it all fresh along the way. With buckets of catchy original pop songs, and complete contemporary revisions of sparkling pop, Motown, and soul classics, this group has always been the one to watch. "Often imitated – never duplicated" applies here. Now they're better than ever.

As one of the progenitors of the astonishing full-band sound of "contemporary" a cappella, Rockapella has shown every audience the raw power of pure vocal talent and originality. "There's nothing in the way between us and the audience; it's very human music," says Rockapella's human beatbox Jeff Thacher. No instruments, no tracks, no mirrors…but never lame.

"We make it rock and make it interesting," explains Scott Leonard, the group's chief songwriter, arranger, and an architect of their ever evolving and imitated dynamic sound. USA Today summed up their lasting appeal: "The best musical instrument of all is the human voice – if you've seen Rockapella you know that's the truth." The New York Times agrees; they're "Pure entertainment"!
