New Tunesday – November 5, 2019
Ah….we’ve hit that week of the year where Halloween smashes into Christmas. We promise to keep it *mostly* non-holiday around her until it’s actually the holidays, but forgive us if we sneak in a good one every now and then!
What better way to celebrate the holiday mashup week of the year, than with a tune from The Nightmare Before Christmas?
Anytime of year is a good time for The Rocky Horror Picture Show, but Halloween was a great time for Backtrack to drop this new video. Especially when paired with the announcement of their Holiday album available now on Spotify.
What better way to announce auditions for A Cappella Academy 2020 but with the release of videos from 2019? Check out the first three releases from last summer’s campers. Yeah, don’t worry – we want to quit a cappella, too.
The first, from the Academy Choir directed by Rob Dietz:
Evergreen by YEBBA performed by Vivace, directed by James Rose and Marisa Esposito:
Mueva Los Huesos by Gordon Goodwin’s Big Phat Band performed by Cloud 9, directed by Amanda Taylor and Sean Patrick Riley
Acaville had the pleasure of debuting this song with an interview with Daniel Barke, but just in case you missed it. More YEBBA, more awesome a cappella.
Adding a Halloween-feel to this iconic Britney tune, this Texas-based group adds some neon for that extra glow. Live in Austin, TX? They are also auditioning.
Winner of “Outstanding Aesthetic” at NACC 2019, All-Night Yahtzee gave us this treat of their entire competition set from 2019.
This quartet out of Australia certainly wins best use of the “wind machine” with their George Michael cover.
New Tunesday – September 24, 2019
Not a busy week for new music, but the Hollens family, the cast of Wicked, and two rising stars pulled through for us this New Tunesday!
Peter Hollens feat. Evynne Hollens and The Wicked Cast
Take two aca-lumni YouTube star, mix them with some Broadway stars and what do you get? This.
Enjoy another live treat from From the Roots, this time “Limbo” originally by Lawrence.
The NYC quintet comes back to YouTube with a Dan Satter arrangement of the Ed Sheeran and Justin Beiber tune.
New Tunesday – April 23, 2019
Some pretty exciting music happening all over the world in this week’s #NewTunesday!
The buzz is reaching a breaking point as Endgame inches closer, so we’d like to start with this one.
Camp A Cappella with Backtrack
Get a peek inside the fun at the world’s biggest a cappella camp with this little hit from The Greatest Showman.
US audiences may have first been introduced to this group during the CARA Ceremony, but this Muse cover shows off even more of what this Italian group can do.
Be sure to check out this new-to-us group out of Finland – this live video is worth a watch!
Translating to “Days of Silence”, you don’t need to speak Hebrew to appreciate this beautiful song from Quinta and a Half.
Performed live at The Betsy A Cappella Festival in Miami last fall, NSA does justice to an intense James Arthur song.
In a tribute to Critical Role and Critter and D&D, this Toronto group did something a little out of the ordinary.
Always nice to hear a cover of an a cappella community alumnus – this time from Ben Platt of Pitch Perfect and Dear Evan Hansen fame.
