People who have seen Cadence in concert rave that their performance is “the most entertaining live show I have ever seen”. Cadence, Canada’s premiere vocal group and three-time Juno award nominee, is returning to First United Church, Truro, on Sunday, September 22 at 3:00 p.m. for an a cappella showcase of complex harmonies, intricate arrangements, vocal dexterity, and just plain fun. Advance tickets are only $20 ($5 students) and they are available from the church office; tickets at the door will be $25. One listen and you will agree; instruments are for surgeons!

The stage lights fall, the crowd goes quiet, and four harmonious voices rise up and fill the air. The melodies unfurl into something both familiar and fresh. What comes next may be a classic song by Joni Mitchell or Louis Prima. It may be an old bebop standard or cheeky arrangement of a 1980s hit. But these are arrangements like you’ve never heard them before—containing all the richness of a full band, but performed using just four voices. This is Cadence, Canada’s premiere vocal group. Based in Toronto, this a cappella ensemble has been wowing audiences across the country and around the world for nearly 20 years. Whether performing at sold-out jazz clubs and concert halls, at music festivals or for educational outreach, the members of Cadence bring an infectious energy and uncanny verve to every song they sing.
The group’s five critically acclaimed studio albums have won or been nominated for numerous awards, including three nods from the JUNO Awards and 10 from CARA, the Contemporary A Cappella Recording Awards.
The band is made up of David Lane (baritone and bass), Ross Lynde (tenor), Lucas Marchand (tenor), and Kurt Sampson (bass and vocal percussion). They each bring many years of training and performance experience to create a rich musical event appropriate for all ages. Cadence’s live shows feature a hypnotic blend of complex harmonies, intricate arrangements, vocal dexterity, and just plain fun. On-stage antics and audience participation are par for the course at any Cadence show, but so too is a mesmerizing display of musical genius. What these boys can do with their voices needs to be heard to be believed. One listen and you will agree; instruments are for surgeons!
