Check out the first in a series of Rockapella Q&A's with Casa.org as Scott Leonard and Jeff Thacher discuss touring, the new album & much more!
I hear Rockapella has a new album in the works, can you tells us a bit about what can be expected?
This'll be the 1st new Rockapella album in - I think - 6 years. I think this'll be a real authentically a cappella album that hopefully sounds a lot like we do live. Instead of multi-tracking, and a lot of layering, the individual voices and the arrangements will largely be featured. The bulk of the album is made up of songs with which fans will be familiar, and that we've had time to kind of polish. The other sort of concept to the album is that each guy is contributing a song as well. The resulting variety and camaraderie are fun and surprising, and I think should add a lot to the album.
Some of the photos that appear on Rockapella.com show a new stage set-up/new production. Can you talk about this and what fans can expect to see at the next Rockapella concert?
We've got a great new production team behind us, and they've helped add new stage design and multi-media to the show. It's still the Rockapella sensibility, but there's now a bit more to take in. And with our latest addition, Steven Dorian, adding his brand of hunky excitement, I can't help but feel a new kind of energy behind Rockapella.
