Built on the classic Motown review tour model, A Cappella Live!  is bringing four of the nation's greatest a cappella acts to the Harris Center's intimate Stage 2 City Studio Theater. In one fabulous performance, come see the charming boy band sound-and-moves of The Filharmonic (you saw them on NBC's The Sing-Off); the rich harmonies of the Grammy-nominated gospel/R&B legends Committed; chart topping lead vocals and live-looping beatbox by Blake Lewis (seen on American Idol); and internationally-inspired songstresses Women of the World (mentored by Grammy-winner Bobby McFerrin).

Theirs is "superhero singing to truly raise goosebumps" (The Guardian).  At a time when a cappella music is more popular than ever, The Swingles are recognized as masters of the craft. They first made waves in the 1960s; since then they have won five Grammy Awards and appeared on numerous film and TV soundtracks, including Sex and the City, Milk, Grey's Anatomy, Downsizing and Glee. They now boast more than 50 recordings with a repertoire that has grown to include a huge variety of music including new original songs. The Harris Center welcomes their return to Folsom.

For more than half a century The Swingle Singers have pushed the boundaries of vocal music. The seven young singers that make up today's London-based group are driven by the same innovative spirit that has defined the five-time Grammy winners since they first made waves in the 1960s. With their forthcoming album Deep End (due early 2015), The Swingles celebrate that legacy by starting a whole new chapter and are eager to share their amazing talents at Harris Center for the Arts in Folsom.
