Street Corner Symphony

 Street Corner Symphony was accepted to compete in THE SINGOFF for

2010 – the hit reality show for vocal ensembles on NBC TV. They almost won

the $100,000 prize and the recording contract, but ended up as the runner-up,

after 4 weeks of intense competition from 9 other great a cappella groups.

The group is comprised of two sets of brothers, one of which are the grandsons

of legendary gospel singer Bill Shaw from The Blackwood Brothers. Further, five

of the members are preacher’s kids and grew up with great church music. Even

with this religious and gospel background – Street Corner Symphony has an

expansive repertoire including songs from the Nylons, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson,

The Beach Boys, John Denver, Stevie Wonder, Tears for Fears, Earth Wind and

Fire, Michael McDonald, Elvis, The Beatles and even current hit makers Train and

U2. In addition they have a good list of original songs.
