If there is a single group that really helped jump start the a cappella movement - as well as give new perception to the genre - it's The Bobs. With tongues planted firmly in cheeks, The Bobs have been packing venues for more than two decades with programs that feature clever cover songs and a wealth of outrageous originals. Combining vocal mastery with irreverent humor, this quartet of Bay Area musicians are ASCAP-award winners and Grammy-noms for vocal arranging, and they are, without doubt, at the top of the list of a cappella ensembles performing and recording in America today.
I know there are like fifty different shows that day, but I gotta go to this! These guys had a huge hand in making me love music and they're also friends of mine! They're also one of the inspirations for my screenname! Also figured I'd pass the info on for anyone who feels like joining me!
