Six Appeal @ Washington Center for the Performing Arts

Six Appeal @ Washington Center for the Performing Arts

“Six Appeal has been described as a vocal ensemble, a comedy group, and a rock band, all in one complete show. Forgoing instruments, this dynamic a cappella group based across the country uses only their voices to perform decades of classic oldies, current chart toppers, and catchy original tunes. With vocal dexterity and adventurous song selection, the group explores all genres with a wide-reaching repertoire that will surprise and captivate audiences regardless of the setting.

Even though the group’s name is a play on words and a simple accounting of its members, the name Six Appeal also speaks to the charm and attraction that these 6 voices create when they come together to produce their electrifying performance. A Six Appeal show will split your sides, feed your musical sweet tooth, and leave you wondering how in the world they pulled it off with only their voices.

With members formally instructed in singing and musical composition, Six Appeal utilizes a diverse arsenal of style and entertainment. In addition, they have a passion for spreading their a cappella music to every audience, and an essential facet of their mission is to empower young singers in their educational outreach program.”
