	ROCKAPELLA: A Cappella Profile
		Rockapella is bringing a cappella into the mainstream, and "2" can only further their reputation.
		Rockapella's notes stack up in perfect formation, creating a Spectoresque wall-of-sound; this precision, where each note is crafted and placed, performing its specific role in relation to the other, creates a brilliance of tone that soaks right into the skin.
		Their many live radio appearances - Rockapella are favored guests of the Mark and Brian show on KLOS, and the Scott and Todd program on WPLJ- have created a demand that is unheard of in a cappella, and is threatening to break free of earth's gravity.

		Rockapella's unique appearance on the show was the perfect national debut, and soon led the creators of a zany new daily geography gameshow to give rockapella a call.
		Rockapella journeyed to Tokyo and made the deal, and as Carmen Sandiego and regular concert appearances around the USA continued, their Japanese activities began to provide a yearly outlet for their growing creativity.
		Smilin' marks a big change for Rockapella, as legendary bass singer Barry Carl retires and the group welcomes newcomer and formidable talent George Baldi as his successor, bringing an exciting new edge to the trademark Rockapella sound and opening the group's next chapter of fantastic music-making.

	Where in the world is Rockapella? - Pulse
		Rockapella was made famous in the early 1990s by the PBS game show "Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?" and Spike Lee's film "Spike & Co.: Do It A Cappella," and was one of the most influential in the genre, largely because of its constant publicity.
		One way Rockapella changed the a cappella industry was through the introduction of full-time vocal percussionist Jeff Thacher.
		Although Rockapella was responsible for the daily soundtrack of many a childhood, Thacher says they aren't recognized in public because of the show.

	Rockapella - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rockapella is a five-man a cappella musical group, known best for their Folgers Coffee commercials and the Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?
		"Rockapella" is a portmanteau word of the words "rock" and "a cappella".

		The moment Rockapella climbs onstage, however, the sedate-looking crowd begins to scream and whoop and roar their appreciation as loudly as any mosh-pit throng.

		Rockapella's membership fluctuated in the late 1980s and early 1990s as non-Brown newcomers replaced High Jinks alumni David Stix '82, Steve Keyes '84, and Charlie Evett '84, who left to pursue careers in art, law, and software design, respectively.

	Rockapella lights up The Centre : Local : Evansville Courier Press
		Not all the songs were well-known; some were Rockapella originals that left the crowd hanging on every note, especially "California Sad-Eyed Girl," which was just beautiful.
		That's just how good Rockapella is as a group, how good the men are individually, as singers and as performers.
		Each of the men had several chances in the spotlight, and while the lesser known songs were an auditory delight, it was the well-known ones that got the most applause (which isn't so different from any rock or country concert).
