The Beelzebubs
The Beelzebubs are a group of Tufts men who believe that singing should be fun for the performers and audience alike.  Founded in 1963, the Beelzebubs have sustained a tradition steeped in musical excellence and quality performance.  To date, the Bubs have recorded 25 studio and 3 live albums and have won several awards for performing and recording.  In 2006 the group was awarded a CARA (Contemporary A cappella Recording Awards) for Best Album, Best Song, Best Solo and Best Arrangement.  They also provided the opening track on the B.O.C.A. 2006 compilation with their recording of “Let’s Get it Started.” 
The Bubs have traveled to nearly every corner of the United States and have toured Europe on several occasions. They have performed at colleges, corporate gigs, public and private elementary schools, middle schools, high schools, bar mitzvahs, wedding showers, restaurants, hospitals, churches, Fenway Park, the Bank North Garden, Disneyworld, Disneyland, Eurodisney, the United States embassies in France and England, on Late Night with David Letterman and back home in Goddard Chapel at the top of the hill in Medford, MA.

 

Brandeis VoiceMale

VoiceMale is Brandeis University's premier all-male a cappella group. Founded in 1994, VoiceMale annually travels coast-to-coast performing an eclectic mix of rock, pop, jazz, R&B, and oldies.  In their twelve year history VoiceMale has been widely heralded as one of the best colliegate groups in the greater Boston area.  They perform regularly at colleges, high schools, and a variety of private functions. 

Following the release of "Propeller," winner of three 2004 CARA’s and opening track of BOCA 2004 (‘Let Me Entertain You’), Brandeis University’s VoiceMale recently released its fifth studio album, "Ain’t Done Overnight."  Songs from the new album have already been selected for the B.O.C.A. 2007 and Sing! 3 compilation CDs. 

 

The LowKeys

The LowKeys are one of Harvard's freshest, most innovative coed a cappella groups. Despite the nomenclature, the sixteen undergrads who form the LowKeys rehearse about ten hours a week in order to prepare for their many different performances.  The group can be found singing in venues such as the Sanders Theater, Greater Boston high schools and colleges, private parties, and even hospitals and other community service out-reach programs in the area. 

The group strives to break new musical ground while maintaining its trademark friendly, “low-key” attitude. They have a diverse repertoire including contemporary pop, jazz, rock classics, and oldies. The LowKeys tour annually during intersession, and have performed in Paris, New York City, Florida, and Alaska.  The group’s latest album “Unlocked” was recently selected to be a part of the B.O.C.A. 2007 and Voices Only compilation CDs. 

 

The Logarhythms

The Logarhythms are MIT's premiere all-male a cappella group. Since 1949 the Logs have entertained audiences around the world with their unique mix of harmony and humor.  The Logarhythms are one of the nation’s oldest a cappella performance groups.  The group has earned songs on the Best of College A Cappella compilation albums from 2003, 2004, and 2005, and their most recent album, "Soundproof," received unprecedented high scores for a collegiate a cappella album in its review by the Recorded A Cappella Review Board (RARB). 

The Logarhythms deliver high-energy performances packed with tight musical harmony and lots of laughs. Their repertoire includes modern pop, hip hop, classic rock and barbershop tunes, and also features hilarious comic skits.

John Clark

John Clark's career with a cappella began back in 1993 when he joined the Tufts University Amalgamates. After being in the group just one semester, he became their music director; a position he held for the next two and a half years until he graduated in 1996. 

After graduation, he started a short-lived semi-professional a cappella group called Seven Seconds which won the Boston Regional Harmony Sweepstakes competition in 1997. Shortly after, John began an internship at Blue Jay Recording Studio in Carlisle, MA, where he spent 18 months being trained as a sound engineer. During that time, John recorded his first a cappella CD with Tufts Shir Appeal which helped earn them a spot on the BOCA 2000 compilation. His next effort was "Juice," which won three CARA awards, including best mixed collegiate album, for his former group the Amalgamates. 

At that point, John's friend Samrat Chakrabarti invited him to come and record with the Hyannis Sound. Since that time, John has continued to enjoy success year after year with his work with various collegiate and professional projects including Naturally7, the Hyannnis Sound, Brandeis VoiceMale, Binghamton Crosbys, MIT Logarhythms, the BU Dear Abbeys, and many others.

 

Judge Eric Fosbury

Eric Fosbury has been a part of the a cappella scene since the fall of 1996. He began singing with the Buffalo Chips at the University at Buffalo, where he won a pair of best arrangement awards in ICCA competitions. His arrangement of Wild Wild West was also awarded runner-up for all-male college groups in 2002. 

Eric also performed with Hyannis Sound for five summers, the last of which came in 2004. Eric has contributed such solos as Bohemian Rhapsody (from Cape Standard Time) and Boys of Summer (from Route 6), arranging them in the process. 

Today, Eric can be found as a tenor in the professional a cappella group named Firedrill! He also remains a contributor of arrangements and direction to various a cappella groups, of all ages, primarily in the northeast.

In recent years, WERS has become well-known for its Live Music Weeks, fundraisers in which dozens of live performances are broadcast from the WERS studios.  In 1998, 88.9 WERS was able to move into newly-renovated studios at 180 Tremont Street on Boston Common, where they broadcast today. 88.9 FM WERS can be heard in five New England states with a listenership of over 150,000 people each week.

WERS is almost entirely student operated and has been voted the number one college radio station in the country by The Princeton Review for the past six years.  In 2006 the station was named “News Station of the Year” by the Associated Press.
