Finished! The photos from SingStrong are all done, and I am uploading them now. I just wanted to post some of my favorite monochrome (black & white, sepia, toned) images from the weekend. Using this technique can really help in very extreme light, or low light situations such as those at a live music event. You can “push” images a lot easier without affecting the integrity of the composition. Here are some of examples from the weekend – they have a more timeless feel to me than most of the color images.

Yeah, these is not your regular choral a cappella performances. It will knock you back in your seat! Definitely check it out if you can. They will gather again for another SingStrong next year in DC, but you still have a chance to attend the next one in the Chicago area March 22-24, 2013. Get details at their website for performance and ticket information. Know that all proceeds are going to the Alzheimer’s Association from ticket sales and silent auction items. Please support the cause, and enjoy some AMAZING music at the same time! You can meet a lot of the groups, and find other ways to support these artists.

The Funx – SingStrong 2013

There were some new bands that I have not heard or seen prior to SingStrong this year. The Funx was one of those groups, and I have no doubt you will be hearing about them for a long time. My first impression of them came while they were teaching a class on re-imagining songs for a cappella groups. The song they had as an example was “Supermassive Black Hole” by Muse; amazing choice, and the small section that they sang instantly had the attention of everyone in the room! Yeah, I stayed to “get more photos” but really, I just wanted to enjoy their performance a little while longer.

The members of the band jumped feet first into the event coaching other a cappella groups, judging competitions, teaching workshops, and getting the crowd rowdy at their Saturday night performance! Their members are very diverse in background, but they use their talent and experience in vocal performance to make a compelling band to follow. Their members have a diversity of experience both in the a cappella world and even on American Idol! They took turns singing lead during their concert – the feel could go from sultry, jazzy, to energetic and in-your-face! They were definitely an audience favorite in a packed group of performances. You can buy their EP directly from iTunes, and follow The Funx on Facebook and Twitter.

Julia Easterlin at SingStrong 2013

Here are some of my favorite photos from Julia Easterlin as she performed at SingStrong 2013. This was the second year that we were privileged to hear her perform. The reception to her music last year made her one of the most popular artists at this year’s festival. There were a few people at her workshop last year. She introduced students to her looping machine, and how she can construct her songs using her voice, and technology. This year, her class was packed to the capacity! So many wanted to listen to her process, and try their hand at looping sounds as a way to create a cappella music.

Students asked questions, and came away with a much better understanding of how she creates her music. Watching her performance live keeps audience engaged as she builds complete full sounds from percussive beats, simple harmonies, to soaring leads. Vocal music fans love it when groups of musicians come together to make these sounds, to see and hear it come from one person is something you have to experience to believe. Yet another reason to make it out to SingStrong if you can!
