CASA - The Contemporary A Capella Society

Vocal Chords is the weekly a cappella and vocal music show from the College of Journalism & Mass Communications at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.   The show airs/streams from 8:00-10:00 a.m. CST (-06:00 GMT) on Friday mornings, repeating in the same time slot on Sunday mornings.

Getting caught up on the last few weeks of playlists as the semester continues to kick my butt…

The last couple of weeks have included tracks from the terrific new CDs by The House Jacks – http://www.housejacks.com/ – and Cadence – http://www.cadence-unplugged.com/.

Got new music you’d like to share with my audience?  My full contact information is at the bottom of this playlist.  The e-mail address for the show is vocalchords2@unl.edu.
