ABOUT BUSINESS CASUAL:
Business Casual is a five-member a cappella vocal band celebrated for their smart and surprising covers of popular songs. What would Mozart sound like as performed by a salsa band? What if Justin Timberlake was a jazz quartet? Taking inspiration from artists like Postmodern Jukebox and Scary Pockets, Business Casual delights audiences with genre-swapped arrangements of crowd-pleasing tunes. As recent national champions of the Harmony Sweepstakes (2018) and VoiceJam (2019) competitions, the group performs at venues big and small across the US and overseas.
ABOUT RO SHAM BO:
Ro Sham Bo is a dynamic sextet singing original arrangements of jazz, latin, and funk tunes, all a cappella. This award-winning group has been entertaining the Bay Area for two decades. In 2013 and 2018, Ro Sham Bo took home the 1st place championship at the SF Bay Area Regional Harmony Sweepstakes and was awarded audience favorite at the National Harmony Sweepstakes in 2018.
Ro Sham Bo has performed to sold-out audiences at Anna’s Jazz Island and the historic La Pena Cultural Center. You can also find them serenading listeners at the eclectic and personality filled Omega Salvage, the quirky Van Kleef bar in Uptown Oakland and at the family friendly Montclair Farmers Market.
ABOUT GOOGAPELLA:
Originally started in 2007, the group was re-formed in 2012 with a simple goal of building connections through singing...and having a positive work-life balance. Today they specialize in moonshot musical arrangements, self-harmonizing vehicles (those are cars that automatically adjusts the track when you sing loudly off-key while driving) and are in talks to launch Googapella ringtones for your Android phone. As a co-founding group of Techapella, along with friends The Vocal Network, Googapella is thrilled to continue the tradition of a cappella collaboration across the tech world.

Hip, fun, imaginative, and funky, Side Note is a nationally award-winning group of ten Bay Area singers from wildly different musical backgrounds, who draw on their diversity to create a fresh, original sound.
