Rockapella brings Beatbox A Capella to Holiday Classics at The Ridgefield Playhouse on December 11

Rockapella returns to The Ridgefield Playhouse on Wednesday, December 11 at 7:30pm with a cappella versions of the holiday standards you know and love, from “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” to a funky version of “You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch!” 

Rockapella has become one of the world’s most sophisticated, lasting, and imitated vocal groups around today. Since the early ’90s when they first achieved national television fame on PBS’s “Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego?” they’ve toured the globe and provided a funky powerful soundtrack to several generations of vocal music fans, while keeping it all fresh along the way.

This event is part of the Holiday Series and Pepsi Rock Series powered by Xfinity. Visit Eddie’s Pizza & Pasta (24 Prospect Street, Ridgefield) the night of the show and enjoy a complimentary glass of house wine with your entree when tickets are presented! Media partner for this event is WEBE 108.

As one of the progenitors of the astonishing full-band sound of “contemporary” a cappella, Rockapella has shown every audience the raw power of pure vocal talent and originality. “There’s nothing in the way between us and the audience; it’s very human music,” says Rockapella’s human beatbox Jeff Thacher. “No instruments, no tracks, no mirrors…but never lame.” With buckets of catchy original pop songs, and complete contemporary revisions of sparkling Motown, pop, and soul classics, this group has always been the one to watch. Often imitated – never duplicated, they’re better than ever! “We make it rock and make it interesting,” explains Scott Leonard, the group’s chief songwriter, arranger, and an architect of their ever-evolving dynamic sound. USA Today summed up their lasting appeal: “The best musical instrument of all is the human voice – if you’ve seen Rockapella you know that’s the truth.” The New York Times agrees, “Pure entertainment”!
