Dylan Bell, Ross Lynde, Carl Berger and Kevin Fox describe CADENCE as “four men who can’t help but have fun - four microphones, no instruments, a repertoire that covers jazz, popular music, doo-wop and even classical nuances, instrumental imitation, sophisticated harmonies and engaging audience interaction.” This winning formula has earned CADENCE international recognition as “one of the finest quartets to make an appearance in the a cappella scene” (Primarily A Cappella).
In 2001, CADENCE released its debut CD, "Frost Free", which was nominated for a JUNO Award, Canada’s equivalent to the Grammy Awards. Reviewer Jonathan Minkoff of The Recorded A Cappella Review Board said the CD is “Elegant, energetic and inventive…'Frost Free' catapults the Canadian quartet into the ranks of the must-own.”
The group’s latest release, "Twenty for One", is another foray into testing of the boundaries of the human voice. Redefining the “vocal band,” "Twenty For One" is a balance of hip jazz, cool pop, and clever and thoughtful original songs. Darmon Meader of the Grammy-Award-winning New York Voices wrote, “….I’ve always gotten a kick out of a cappella groups such as Rockapella, M-Pact, The House Jacks and of course, Take Six. Lets add CADENCE to that list...the diversity of their repertoire is countered by the consistency of their performances, arrangements and production value. The lead lines, the ensemble vocals and the ‘vocal instruments’ all combine to create a very hip sound. If you’re a fan of vocal groups and a cappella harmony, you’re going to dig CADENCE.”
