Multi/inter-stylistic, multi instrumentalist, counter cultural, anti-establishment, 5th column architect, philosopher, scientist, inventor, story teller, film maker, witch, warrior, poet, pirate, psychonaut, hunter, gatherer, farmer, fisherman, entrepreneur, saboteur, provocateur, wanderer, reveler, law breaker, peace maker, gadfly, faithful non believer, normal suburban kid, one of the freakiest freaks in free freakdom, of and for the wilderness of the earth and in the mind. A wild fucking mind like an unrelenting weed barging up through the cracks in the memetic pavement smeared over our mindscapes by our culture, trying to find others like itself to propagate before being chopped down, poisoned or uprooted by delusional order mongers for the sin of daring to be, without their permission.

Yale University's Redhot and Blue - New Haven, Connecticut
"the nation's most consistently excellent Mixed Collegiate a cappella group" --Contemporary a Cappella Society of America
Redhot and Blue is Yale University's oldest co-ed a capella singing group, and has sung all over the world, winning practically every major a capella award in the process.
Noted for its distinctive musical style (innovative arrangements of old standards), and its distictive look (tuxedos for men, red evening gowns for women), Redhot and Blue has been dazzling audiences across the globe for decades. Winners of the Contemporary A Cappella Society of America's Best Arrangement, Best Soloist, Best Song and Best Album awards, included in Best of Collegiate a Cappella, and critically acclaimed from the Collegiate a Cappella Recordings Review to the New York Daily News, Redhot and Blue has sung everywhere from the Queen Elizabeth 2 to the White House. Redhot and Blue is now consenting to do concerts at private parties, a treat that should not be missed given the group's much-deserved reputation as the best a cappella group on Earth.
