I have to be honest: Before I encountered the Hyannis Sound I wasn't the biggest fan of a cappella. The reason is competition. How do I possibly compete with guys who can sing?

From their beginnings giving singing telegrams, The Bobs' founders (Gunnar Madsen and Matthew Stull) recruited bass singer Richard Greene and Janie Scott in the higher register to complete the a cappella quartet.
In addition to its original tunes, the group covers Talking Heads' "Psycho Killer" and performs an award-winning arrangement of "Helter Skelter" by The Beatles. The Bobs' performances are a display of vocal acrobatics; combined with the group's irreverent lyrics, the result is an internationally acclaimed sound. In a session with host David Dye, the quartet sings material from its latest CD, Get Your Monkey off My Dog.

The 30-year-old Baltimore man is not your traditional musician. He relies on a microphone, amp and the incredible range of sounds he creates with his mouth, lips, tongue and voice.
Shodekeh is a beatbox artist, and he simulates sounds ranging from drumbeats to horns, strings and other musical instruments. For the past three weeks, he has been seen in and around the dance facilities at the American Dance Festival, which just wrapped up its 75th anniversary season.
