The renowned vocal group Acappella brings the message of God’s love to audiences around the world. But this is not just any kind of music; this is Acappella music. Far from being a group “without music” as it is sometimes described, Acappella is based solely upon the greatest instrument ever created - the human voice. Believing in the awesome versatility and flexibility of the human voice, Acappella can fill a large concert hall with beautiful, intricate music without ever plucking a string or beating a drum. In March 1982, Keith Lancaster - songwriter, producer and original lead singer - wanted to form a quartet of men with a mission to communicate gospel truths through music. Four months later, concertgoers in Hamilton, Ohio, were the first to be amazed by what they heard. The group was called His Image Quartet for a brief period before embracing the name Acappella. Almost 30 years later, this singing ministry is stronger than ever. Acappella’s grass roots fan base steadily grew through the 1980s as the group experienced many lineup changes and constantly experimented with fresh new sounds. The landmark album, Sweet Fellowship (1988), ushered in one of the most significant developments in the group’s membership and style. Lancaster stepped out of the group as lead singer to focus on the role of producer and manager. The group continued to change after that, developing a unique sound that has been mimicked by countless small groups around the country, from high school stairwells to large church auditoriums. Signed to Word Records in 1990 (and later to Epic Records), Acappella’s popularity soared with releases such as Rescue, We Have Seen His Glory and Set Me Free. Media exposure included many television appearances, while the song “More Precious Than Gold” became the centerpiece of a Sony Camcorder television commercial. Acappella’s new album, Find Your Way, is a mix of strong harmony and sound biblical lyrics. Featuring Acappella’s trademark strong bass and soaring tenor, Find your Way marks a triumphant return for the quintet since their last release of three years ago, Radiance. Five talented young men — Allen Brantley, Robin Brannon, Zac George, Anthony Lancaster and Zach Wilson — continue Acappella’s work today in concerts all over the world. When Acappella relocates to Oklahoma City in August as part of a partnership with Oklahoma Christian University, Brantley will hand the bass singer baton to Wes McKinzie, who previously toured for seven years with another Acappella Company group, AVB.
