Vocal Union

Vocal Union is an all-vocal, contemporary Gospel group from Nashville, Tennessee. They began as a group of studio interns in 1995 experimenting with recording vocal arrangements of traditional gospel music. The sound they produced found a niche in many churches around the country, and the decision was made in 1998 to make Vocal Union a touring group. Since that time, Vocal Union has traveled extensively, performing for special church

events, community concerts, and fundraisers. The group primarily travels
throughout the United States, but has also ventured to select venues in
Canada and Jamaica. Vocal Union has performed at a wide variety of venues
including a performance of sacred Christmas music at Carnegie Hall in
December of 2005 in Manhattan, New York, and two performances at the White
House Christmas celebration in Washington, D.C. in December of 2006. The
group's fan base has spread worldwide through distribution by Word Records.
Fans from Iceland, Nigeria, Brazil, and many other countries all over the
world have signed the group's online guest book and illustrate Vocal Union's
strong international appeal.

Two Vocal Union recording projects: "Once Upon A Tree" and "All Around Me"
have earned awards from the Contemporary Acappella Society of America.
"Once Upon A Tree" was awarded the Best Religious Album of the Year in 2001
against stiff competition from the very highly acclaimed groups Take 6 and
Acappella.

"All Around Me" was awarded runner up for Best Religious Album of the Year
in 2005 from The Contemporary Acappella Society of America. This album also
produced the song "Livin Love" which was awarded runner up for the Best
Religious Song of the Year. The group's most recent project: "Just Like the
Old Days" was released in 2007 and is a return to the high-energy
traditional sound that the group began with in 1995. Thus far, the album
has received a warm reception from audiences throughout the United States,
and the group has already started putting together material for their next
project. "Once Upon A Tree", "All Around Me", and "Just Like the Old Days"
are available online at the group's website www.vocalunion.com, in many
Christian bookstores, and in seven major international markets.

Vocal Union's style ranges from high-energy traditional, to tight-harmony
jazz and soulful spirituals, to contemporary street corner acappella. The
group tailors the set list to match the demographics of the audience so
everyone from the very young to the very old will find something to enjoy
during their concerts. Many of their songs feature vocal percussion and
"vocal bass guitar" to firmly establish the rhythmic element, and the inner
voicings are meticulously arranged and seriously performed to perfection.
The group is blessed with some of the finest soloists in Christian music and
all of them love to sing with their hearts!

"Our goal is to sing the Gospel to as many as possible - whenever and
wherever - to teach, uplift, and encourage!"
