You’re invited to the Bull City A Cappella Slam on Saturday, September 20, at Northern Durham High School, hosted by the Heart of Carolina Barbershop Chorus – an acclaimed musical group that includes WCHL’s own Matt Oakes.

Performing groups include Men In Black, GQ, Carolina Harmony, and Avante.

The show gets underway at 7:00 p.m. Tickets – $15 per person, $10 for students – are available online at HeartOfCarolinaChorus.org. A portion of the proceeds will benefit Urban Ministries of Durham.

Matt Gorman, Joe Simpson, Mark Haskell, and Adam Bridges, all of the Heart of Carolina Chorus, joined Aaron Keck on the air last week to promote the show. Listen to their conversation – including a live rendition of Queen’s “Crazy Little Thing Called Love.”
