TRANSIT

A Capella Vocal Group
Raleigh, NC

Combining soaring leads, smooth harmonies, and a thumping rhythm section, transit demonstrates the power, versatility, and emotion of the most natural instrument of all, the human voice.

Formed in 2005, transit is a dynamic vocal band that emphasizes engaging live performances, inspiring recordings, and continual innovation of their art form.  From beautiful ballads to soul-shaking funk, transit performs a wide variety of music sure to entertain any audience.  transit’s very first single, “Hide and Seek”, received a nomination for the Contemporary A Cappella Recording Award (CARA) in the Pop/Rock Category, while their 2007 self-titled debut album received two CARA wins and another Runner-Up.

Audiences often leave a transit live performance in amazement and disbelief.  “How can they possibly be doing all that without any instruments?”  Using nothing more than their mouths and microphones, transit brings to the stage the thumping rhythm of a drum set, the rumbling vibrations of an electric bass, funky guitar riffs, soulful horns, and the sounds of many other common instruments.

Since the group’s founding in 2005, transit has performed to excited audiences up and down the East Coast of the United States.  With decades of collective experience as performers and clinicians, transit has also given numerous classes and workshops, including grade school educational programs and university seminars and master classes.  With a commitment to vocal music at their core, transit continues to perform for and educate discerning crowds of all ages and tastes.
