SoJam is the SUMMIT
Mister Tim
mythical, magical appeal to the West Coast A Cappella Summit. All the
groups would find a way to go, it seemed. It was a gathering of the
best a cappella people, it seemed. A Cappella Nirvana.
When I attended my first West Coast A Cappella Summit (2002) it really
was that cool. I could stand around and talk to the biggest names in
a cappella. I met Deke Sharon! Richard Green! Relationships started
there that have carried me to where I am now in music and life.
For whatever reason, the West Coast A Cappella Summit seems to have
gone the way of King Arthur (gone, but perhaps to return some day in
might and glory?).
The new place to be, the new ‘Summit,’ the epicenter of a cappella art
and community is SOJAM.
The first weekend in November, Raleigh, North Carolina, SoJam has in
its seven years become the biggest, best, most comprehensive, most
involved a cappella event in the United States. Consistently, the
best performing groups, the best teachers, the best parties, the best
memories.
If you are serious about your a cappella, if you want to recapture (or
capture for the first time) that magical a cappella experience, you
must go to SoJam. It really is THAT AWESOME.
