Who are the Vassar Devils and what do they do?
The Vassar Devils are a co-ed a cappella group that loves to perform music of all styles (pop songs, jazz standards, rock ballads, indie hits, etc.), as well as original music written by their members. Recently, they won a competition called Boston Sings, were named the Northeast Champions of the ICCA (International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella), and sang as one of the top 8 groups in the U.S. and U.K. at the Finals on Broadway! They also won the “Find Your Voice” a cappella songwriting competition held by The Vocal Company, were featured on POP TV’s a cappella docu-series “Sing It On”, and even gave a private performance for President and First Lady Obama at the White House in December of 2015.
In May 2017, they released their first professional studio album, Coming Alive (available on iTunes and many streaming platforms!), which included various songs from their repertoire, spanning from pop, indie, classic rock, and even original music written by their own members! The process of recording and releasing Coming Alive was incredibly fulfilling––so much so that they have begun the process of recording their second professional album, which features the newest members of the group and some awesome arrangements by Devils past and present.
What brings the Vassar Devils to Connecticut?
Their Music Director, Lily Carmichael, attended school with Nathaniel Field at Haddam-Killingworth High School, and the Nathaniel B. Field Memorial Foundation, Inc. has a special place in her heart. They will be performing at the Killingworth Congregational Church, 273 Rt. 81, Killingworth, on Sunday, March 8, 2020 from 5:00 to 6:00 p.m. in support of the Foundation’s mission, and in honor of Nathaniel’s legacy. Our Foundation is honored by the group’s generosity and we look forward to an incredible evening of harmonies! All ages are welcome to attend.
