Winning Local A Capella Group To Open For Vocalosity Performance at The Granada Theatre

The highly anticipated a capella performance, Vocalosity, hits the stage at The Granada Theatre onFriday, November 11, 2016, as part of the Granada Theatre Concert Series. From the artistic producer of Pitch Perfect and The Sing Off,Vocalosity takes a cappella to a whole new level with a show stopping theatrical performance featuring 10 dynamic voices singing some of today's most popular hits.

In anticipation of the performance, The Granada Theatre hosted the A Cappella Performance of a Lifetime Contest, offering one lucky group the exclusive chance to perform as the opening act for Vocalosity! After a month-long open audition, and thoughtful consideration by a blue ribbon panel of judges, The Granada Theatre is thrilled to announce that AIRPLAY has won the a capella contest, and will open the show onNovember 11!

AIRPLAY is a wonderfully talented a cappella group that originated in Santa Barbara, when founding members Antonio, Bobby, Jeff, and DJ formed UCSB's all-male a cappella group, "Brothas from Otha Muthas" (BFOM). BFOM remained an all-male group until Jane joined after being a member of the Tritones in San Diego. Ben, also a Tritones alumni, joined soon after and AIRPLAY was born!

To add to the excitement surrounding the Vocalosity performance, the show's artistic producer Deke Sharon, is coming to The Granada Theatre to host a Master Class on Monday, October 24, 2016 at 7:00pm in the McCune Founders Room at The Granada Theater. Deke will be coaching the winning group, as well as other contest participants. The Granada Theatre is extending an invitation to this exclusive Master Class to all vocalists and singing enthusiasts in the community, offering a unique opportunity to learn from one of the greatest creative minds in a cappella music! This class is FREE and open to the public, no tickets required.

Vocalosity explores all genres of music - from tenth century Gregorian chant and classic choral, to barber shop quartet and bouncing doo-wop all the way to The Beatles and Bruno Mars. Combine that, with movement and choreography from Sean Curran (Stomp original cast member), and you have an exhilarating evening of song unlike anything you've ever seen or heard, live on stage!

Don't miss the Vocalosity performance, with special guest a capella group, AIRPLAY, opening the show at The Granada Theatre on Friday, November 11, 2016 at 8:00pm.
