Their comic interaction and tight harmonies make camaraderie radiate from the stage, bringing freshness and talent to a solid foundation of an a cappella tradition. Together they are truly the cat's meow! They've been featured on dozens of venues, including Disney productions, TV shows, and as opening acts for major performers all over the country. Their wit and humor have won over audiences as they relate directly to the crowd with jokes, stories, and audience participation that appeal to young and old alike.
