Groovebarbers return for a cappella holiday concert

PUTNEY — Next Stage Arts Project presents the international a cappella sensations The Groovebarbers, with special guests, the Putney Central School Chorus, in their third annual holiday concert on Friday, Dec. 16, at 7:30 p.m.

The Putney School chorus also will make a special guest appearance.

The Groovebarbers will bring close harmonies and warm arrangements of holiday classics from the secular to the sublime.

Each member of this all-vocal powerhouse quartet is a bona fide star in his own right: Sean Altman, Charlie Evett and Steve Keyes are former members of the pioneering modern a cappella group Rockapella of “Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego?” TV fame, and Kevin Weist is a renowned bald vocal guru.

The group performs rock, doo-wop, jazz, barbershop and - with the help of guest soprano Inna Dukach - a new hybrid genre they call “doowopera” (visit www.doowopera.com to get a taste).

Popcorn and other refreshments will be available in the lobby.
