What better way to start off your vacation with a concert to the Sing off tour? As avid viewers of the Sing-off, my roommate and I rushed to buy the Sing-Off tour tickets at the House of Blues in Los Angeles. We arrived 1.5 hours before the concert starts and we were surprised to see a line circling the House of Blues all the way around to the cigar bar. Luckily for us, an hour passed by quickly with jokes and anticipation of our favorite acapella groups.
The concert quickly started without much technical difficulties and we were mind-blown. For you Sing-Off fans, the concert started with a group song as usual.
BUT, it was much better than the show -- voices and harmonies were so much better live. If you were getting the goose willies listening to the TV, man, you would probably become a fan girl like us too by the end of it. The concert incorporated the classic songs from the Sing-off show such as Cruise (covered by Homefree) and One Direction Medley (by Filharmonic).
All of the acapella groups brought some new songs up their sleeves, and boy, the performances were sound-heaven! Homefree covered Justin Bieber's Baby. Voiceplay brought their musical theater background into play in their new mashup with Homefree. Homefree's amazing rendering of Party Rock Anthem quickly started the party in House of Blues. Did I mention that Austin tried to rap and Tim was twerking? Yes... shit went down.
Overall, it was 2.5 hours of extreme happiness. Acapella might not be everyone's cup of tea, but for those of you who do love acapella music, I would strongly recommend checking out concerts by any one of the contestant groups. The Sing-off tour might be over, but Homefree did imply they might come back soon (and don't forget, Filharmonic is from LA). If not, check out all of the contestants' youtube accounts -- I've attached one of the mash-up I love from the concert down below. Survivor performed live was as much, if not even more, goosebump-inspiring.

If you want to hear acapella anywhere and everywhere, my roommate strongly recommends voice play's new album, which you can find in their website down below.
