I just noticed David’s post on a cappella groups and I figured I’d put my own two cents in… (ok, so I didn’t see his post and made this one before I read the blogs)
A lot of times in NYC and in other places I see a cappella groups perform amazing pieces. The band Naturally 7 performed at Madison Square Garden last weekend as the opening act for Michael Buble. I had never heard of them before but now they’re one of my favorites. They did covers of Beatles and other popular songs as well as originals. What was amazing was that I could swear there was a drum or a bass on stage but it was all their voices.
Here’s a video of them performing a remix of Come Together:
Here’s a video of another a cappella group of all men performing a very famous Lady Gaga song:

The a cappella group phenomenon is strong. Cool stuff.
