Grove City College’s Showcase Series presents Kings Return in concert at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 6 in Ketler Auditorium of the Pew Fine Arts Center on campus.
Kings Return is a dynamic and soothing four-piece vocal group that takes pride in crafting a diverse yet supremely cohesive a cappella sound: The blend of their unique vocal timbres is so rich and so smooth that, at times, it sounds more like a full choir than a mere four men.
Their sound has earned comparisons to iconic acts like Take 6 and Boyz II Men. But what sets Kings Return apart is their seamless integration of a wide range of genres and styles. Drawn to the flexibility of a cappella music, they take full advantage of the genre-mixing aspects of the tradition. Their brand of R&B is entwined with free moments of jazz, soulful bursts of gospel, and bright touches of pop—all built on a solid, classical foundation.
Discovered after posting a series of bare-bones stairwell performances that went viral, their music is a balm to the soul, laced with expansive harmonies that flex the agility and effortless range of their vocal talent.
Tickets are available online until Feb. 3 with limited availability at the door the day of the show. For additional information about the concert, contact the Department of Music at 724-458-2084, or email alumni@gcc.edu about ticket purchases.
The Showcase Series brings creative and cultural offerings to campus each year for student and community enjoyment. The performances are curated by the College’s Department of Music and highlight the arts as an integral part of the Grove City College experience.
