In this the 14th Round of the CP Music Draft, Team Phlegmp3 selects the A Cappella group Cadence in the Canadian category.
Quote:
Four Men. Four Microphones. No Instruments. Start with a playlist that covers jazz, popular music, doo-wop, even classical. Add in four guys who can’t help but have fun. The result is a show that has something for everyone: instrumental imitation, sophisticated harmonies, and engaging audience interaction. This winning formula has earned CADENCE international recognition as “one of the finest quartets to make an appearance in the a cappella scene”.
In the journey from four-guys-in-the-living-room to international touring band, CADENCE has performed for many of the greatest names in vocal music including Quincy Jones and Manhattan transfer. CADENCE has also had the honour of singing with vocal maestro Bobby McFerrin in 2003 at the Montreal Jazz Festival, and in 2005 at Roy Thomson Hall.
CADENCE has performed across the world, with delighted audiences across North America, Asia, and Europe. Wherever they go, CADENCE delivers its mandate: to explore and demonstrate that the voice has no limits.
Close your eyes: you’ll never believe you’re hearing only voices.

I've seen these guys in person, and they put on a fantastic show! They have one song ("The Things We Do For Love") where they do the guitar solo from Queen's "Killer Queen" in the middle of the song, and I swear you wouldn't even know the difference.
Some music clips from their website:
"Feelin' Groovy"
"Drycleaner From Desmoines"
If anyone is interested in hearing some of their other stuff, send me a PM.
