I actually spotted these guys at the Squire one night not too long ago. My first thought: Who the heck are all these guys with the vineyard vine bow-ties? And are they for real...? My questions were answered promptly as one of the young men stepped onto the Squires makeshift stage (Tuesday's being karaoke night.) One harmonized rendition of Going to Carolina later, I realized these boys were noneother than members of the famed a cappella group, the Hyannis Sound. The Sound gathers each year after Memorial Day, and spends the entire summer performing across the Cape and the greater Northeast of the U.S. These guys are just beyond precious- seriously, even if you think a cappella isn't your thing, I dare you to go a concert and not leave with a spring in your step (and a couple catchy tunes stuck in your head all week).
The groups uniform consists of vineyard vine ties , oxford shirts and khaki pants (hence the album title.) While I don't usually condone any sort of extreme matching, this ensemble only adds to the groups charm.A little about the guys (as found here):
"Through their experiences with the group, these men garner valuable skills in performance, business management, and musical direction. While growing as individuals, they also form countless friendships and become members of a brotherhood that last a lifetime... being active members of the Cape Cod community remains a primary goal. As a part of that community, the Sound looks to contribute to the wealth of musical culture that the Cape has to offer. The group continually pushes itself to provide a positive example for young musicians across the region and beyond"

Wherever you are, make sure to get to the venue early and grab a front row seat. That way when these boys are singing a revamped version of Jason Mraz's I'm Your's - you'll experience what feels like a personalized serandae.
Here's a preview but seeing them live is an entirely different and intimate experience. Check them out!
