4 The Record - A Great Lakes Vocal Band

The audience will experience unique a cappella arrangements of radio hits from the past 4 decades. The music is full of tight harmonies and backing vocals that imulate instrumental sounds from drums, guitar, piano, brass, and more.

Only one instrument is used in the group, and that is the world's most versatile and complex...the human voice.

The group covers songs by groups/performers such as Journey, Adele, Ike & Tina Turner, Wham, Phil Collins, Uncle Cracker, Johnny Nash, Sugarland, Katy Perry, The Manhattan Transfer, The Eurythmics, Usher, Little Big Town, and much more! The biggest concentration of music is from the modern pop/rock era, 1972-today.

4 THE RECORD began as a concept, "to form a professional vocal band that combines great talent, energy, and charisma, into an overall entertainment experience for audiences in the Midwest and across the country."

Since the groups formation in Spring 2009, they have produced a full-length self-titled CD! They have shared the stage/performed at events featuring internationally renowned a cappella greats such as Rockapella's Scott Leonard, Germany's Vocaldente, contemporary a cappella touring phenom-Boston's Ball in the House, Blue Jupiter from New York City, Puerto Rico's NOTA, winner of the hit NBC television show "The Singoff," and European beat box champion Fii.
