2008 CARA winners
Updated: 4/3/2008 1:21:41 PM
OC Times, VM Score in recording awards competition
The song is “Love Me” and indeed they did. The Contemporary A cappella Recording Awards honored OC Time’s rendition of the song—and the album “Let’s Fly”—with awards for Best Barbershop Song and Best Barbershop Album in the 2008 competition. Capri was runner-up in both categories.
OC Times was joined by The Vocal Majority Chorus in achieving distinction in the CARA competition. The venerable chorus was chosen runner-up in the Holiday Album category for their CD “Believe”.
Both groups have won accolades before from the world a cappella community. In 2006, OC Times won most popular barbershop quartet, Sean Devine, OC Times lead, won most popular male vocalist the same year. The Vocal Majority Chorus won a CARA in 2004 for Best Barbershop Album (“VMX”) and earned runner-up status in the 1998 CARAs with “How Sweet the Sound”.
The CARAs are presented by the Contemporary A cappella Society of America in recognition of the best recorded a cappella produced within a calendar year. This year, CARAs were awarded in 29 categories, including rock/pop, jazz, humor and holiday.
Several barbershop harmony groups have won awards, not only for barbershop, but also for jazz, humor and holiday recordings since the CARAs began in 1992.
Nominations for CARAs, submitted by a cappella fans and performers, are judged by a panel of 30 individuals selected for their experience with, talent in and knowledge of a cappella music.
Groups interested in competing for CARAs should visit www.casa.org for instructions.
