3 CARAs for Luminescence!
We are proud and humbled to announce our success in the 2009 Contemporary A Cappella Recording Awards. We took first place in the following categories:
Best High School Album: nonpareil
Best High School Song: Miss Independent
Best High School Soloist: Suzie Wyman, Miss Independent
We would like to congratulate all of our fellow winners!
Luminescence to appear on BOHSA!
Our track "Breathe" has been selected for the 2009 Best of High School A Cappella compilation. We are honored to appear alongside a wealth of talented groups from all over the country!
nonpareil is out! Read what the reviewers had to say about it!
We were thrilled to record our CD "nonpareil" with Daniel Cantor of Notable Productions. Notable is located in Watertown, MA (just outside of Boston) and on the web at www.notable.com. You can also find Dan on MySpace - he's our No. 2 friend. Our good friends the Jewel Tones recorded their album at Notable in 2007, so we are very pleased to work with Dan and have enjoyed the benefits of Dan's studio wizardry. This CD will feature a broad range of styles, from tight barbershop harmonies to brooding alternative ballads to vocal perc-driven pop. Dan knows how to highlight the unique character of each song, using his impressive bag of Pro Tools tricks, without obscuring our signature Lumi sound. We think you will hear our love and enthusiasm in every track.
We would like to thank all of the people who have supported our fundraising efforts for our first studio album. Thanks to their generosity, we have surpassed our goal. Please visit our blog section to read their names.
We would like to extend a special thank you to the Massachusetts Cultural Council for their generous support of our CD. They are offering partial funding of our project through a Local Cultural Council (LCC) Grant.
