We’re looking for a tenor and bass.

• Sight reading is helpful but not required. Our charts are not overly difficult, with a range of from Java Jive (Manhattan Transfer’s arrangement) to Sing, Sing, Sing (New York Voices’ arrangement).
• Stronger singers can sing a solo tune of their choice during our Friends & Family concert, which is held every year or so.
• Past community performances (prior to covid) include Piedmont’s Harvest Festival, Montclair’s Art & Wine Festival, Walnut Creek’s Arts & Wine Festival, Stanford Hospital’s Noon Concert Series, Avanova and benefits at the Lake Merritt United Methodist Church and Temple Sinai.
• See more about our repertoire in the section below.

Rehearsals are held every Monday evening, from 6:30 to 8:15pm in Oakland or Emeryville, accompanied by professional pianist Lee Bloom.

Please contact DeAnna to learn more and to arrange to come to a rehearsal.

The Audition Process: Come warm up with us and then:

• Sing a song or two with us that you’ll be able to practice beforehand.
• Join us for a portion of our rehearsal on a tune we’re now learning.

Repertoire:

Jeff Neighbor has written many wonderful original arrangements for us. Audience favorites include Bye Bye Blackbird and Pennies from Heaven – both of which feature original music and lyrics.
