No, I haven't.  What type of music do they play?
Have a wonderful day!

They are an a cappella group. I've got a few of their songs as MP3s in my collection, but I've never seen them in person although I did see a poster a few years ago saying they were coming to town. Although I enjoy them, I like Pentatonix a little better in that they tend to do more modern songs while SNC does covers of older songs. Having said that, I saw their latest video that was shared by a friend on FB... "Text Me Merry Christmas" featuring Kristen Bell (see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpxYDEVIe7E). It is a great, cute song for the holidays!

I saw them a few years back on a PBS show.They are good.But i also felt at the time with all their personnell they would have been mind boggling!

I am a musician and i know vocal harmony.

The Kings Singers will blow you away with their harmony.

In the 60s The Association were the BEST vocal band out there.

Check em out on YouTube.

I saw them a few years ago on Channel Nine (local PBS station here in St. Louis metropolitan area). They're quite good.

If I recall correctly, they sing acapella and their harmony is right on. I sent in for one of their CDs at the time.  It was probably part of a pledge drive. Cute songs.

Never heard of them.  The last acapella group I listened to frequently were The Nylons.  I may have to check out the Kings Singers and The Association posted above.  Those sound interesting.

Kapeh...you wont be disappointed with either The Association or King Singers.

I actually had a CD of The Nylons.They did a very interesting version of "Happy Together"on it.

Straight No Chaser is fun to listen to.  They put some different twists on songs (like the Twelve Days of Christmas) which I like.  I'm not a music critic so I can't judge how good they are compared to other groups but I think they are worth a listen and looking up some of their videos on Youtube.
