Summary: SoJam Special In this special theme show, Dave and Christopher feature groups that have appeared and will appear at the world-class SoJam A cappella Festival, sponsored by CASA and co-sponsored by Mouth Off. This year’s SoJam will take place in Durham, North Carolina, on Nov. 6-8, 2009. Learn more about the weekend-long event here; the collegiate competition produced by Christopher here; and the workshops taught by Dave, Christopher, and other pros here. Musical Mouthful Firedrill! is always a dreamy audience favorite at SoJam. Dave loves their FEH. This is Not an Instrument The a cappella community met soulful music geniuses Naturally 7 at SoJam 2007. They sing trumpets better than Christopher. My New Girlfriend(s) Dave is an a cappella playa… he has TWO new girlfriends this week! Abbey Janes from Duwende is that confident lady you just wanna get with. And Fork’s Mia Renwall is beyond hot. Her curves and high cheekbones are right up Dave’s alley. The whole conversation is completely lost on Christopher. Names You Should Know Dave Sperandio founded SoJam on a shoestring, and under his direction and vision it has become the UberEvent in the a cappella world. Christopher lauds Dio’s work with transit, his hip hop Timbaland ways, and his work creating the VocalSource network of a cappella production pros. Today he runs diovoce studios and serves as CASA’s Director of Festivals and Events. And he’s just a good dude. Cool Chord of the Week Eclipse, the boy band of the a cappella world, will be singing their cool chords at SoJam 2009. Dave is already getting goosebumps, especially when listening to their latest album Grateful Praise. Sexypella The House Jacks are the original rock band without instruments, and they’ll bring their sexy music to Durham, NC, this year to headline at SoJam 2009. 20 Questions Christopher asks 20 questions of 20 people involved in SoJam. These producers, performers, and participants share their love for the event and urge you to be there this year. N.B.: The first groups to buy tickets get first dibbs on masterclasses.
