Introducing Hyannis Sound 2013

Another St. Patty's Day, another weekend of auditions for Hyannis Sound. As always, we gathered the group together in Boston and heard some extraordinarily talented musicians. After cutting an initial pool of approximately 75 people down to 30 candidates, we spent the weekend listening to our final choices for the group. We were blown away by some of the talent that we heard, and our final decision was particularly difficult to make. At the end of the day, we could not be happier with our decisions! Without further ado, the new members of the Hyannis Sound are:

Devon Barley is a junior at UVM where he sings with and directs the Top Cats. He took a semester off from school to perform on The Voice, where he ended up on Adam Levine's team and placed 12th in the first season. He's got a sweet Tenor 2 tone and a great ability to make a song truly his own. Cape audiences will absolutely love him. Devon is also an incredibly humble, down-to-earth guy with whom we all loved chatting and hanging out. We can't wait to have his presence in the group. Here are two recordings of Devon from The Voice. The first is a duet on Radiohead's "Creep," and the second is OneRepublic's "Stop and Stare."

Jackson Thea is a sophomore at Yale, where he studies Computer Science and sings with the Duke's Men. He has a beautiful T2 voice and his perc is really, really tight. His solos on "My Funny Valentine" and "Rolling in the Deep" were completely entrancing and blew us away. He's a great musician who sightread both the T2 and Bari parts for "Beyond the Sea" incredibly well. He was great to talk to one-on-one and had a very honest, thoughtful approach to life. Here's Jackson's version of "Rolling in the Deep" with his group at Yale.

Sean Switzer is a freshman bass at Rutgers - New Brunswick, where he sings with Casual Harmony. Sean is a bass with an incredible solo voice and a huge range. His projection on low notes is amazing, and his performances of jazz standards blew us away. Sean picked up the bass parts quickly and it was a pleasure to sing and blend with him on the low notes. At Rutgers, Sean is into a lot of Musical Theater and is currently playing Leo Bloom in a production of The Producers. He was also a great all-around guy who everyone enjoyed talking to. This is a video of Sean singing "Fly Me to the Moon" with his high school jazz band.

In addition to our amazing new members, Andy, Brandon, Daniel, Jared, Liam, Marc, and Noah will all be returning to Hyannis this summer. We are incredibly excited to get singing on Cape and could not be more thrilled with our new additions this year! Get ready for a summer that's going to knock your socks off!

New Single on iTunes!

 As the doldrums of winter drag on, we're happy to be able to make an announcement that will transport you back to the carefree days of summer-- we have a new single out on iTunes!

Our mash-up of "Call Me Maybe" and "That's What Makes You Beautiful" was one of our biggest hits last summer, so we decided to record it specially at the end of the summer in hopes of releasing it ahead of our big studio release later this Spring.

You can check out the single here:

Call Me Maybe/What Makes You Beautiful - iTunes

A big thanks to Colin Egan, Noah Berg, Ed Boyer, Dave Sperandio, Rob Stewart, and George Davis for helping us to get this recorded, edited, mixed, and ready for release. We are lucky to be able to work with such wonderfully talented individuals!

Thank you all for your support! We hope you enjoy the track!

Auditions Extension!

Due to the power outages across the Northeast, and due to the fact that we want to give as many people as possible a chance to audition, we have decided to extend the video submission deadline!  Remember, you MUST submit a video in order to be considered for the live auditions in March!

The new deadline will be Sunday, February 17th by midnight.  Please remember to send your video to colin.hyannissound@gmail.com, and please set the viewing settings on YouTube to "Unlisted."

And to those that have already submitted videos: We will still be notifying you by email whether you have made it to the next round in the next couple of weeks.  We're still working through them, so thank you for your entry and your patience!

Hope everyone is warm and safe!

Winter Tour Cancelled

Unfortunately we have been forced to cancel our Winter Tour because of the incoming blizzard. After much consideration, we decided that this was the best way to handle the storm even if it is a disappointing one. Stay safe during Nemo, and summer will be here before you know it!

Our next performance will be the weekend of April 5-7 in the Upper Valley of Vermont and New Hampshire. Hopefully you'll be able to catch us there to make up for the cancellation.
