Moira Smiley is not only extremely talented, musically admirable, smart, beautiful, sensual and generous, she is also one of the leading souls of VOCO, one of the most amazing acapella groups of this century.
The music is powerful and emotional with lush harmony and the delicious vaudevillian combo of cello, accordion and banjo.

Sprinkled throughout their songs are rompin stompin' body percussion sets - always a show-stopping pleasure. Voted #1 acapella band in the U.S., the four members of VOCO :
Moira Smiley : composer/arranger/vocals, accordion, banjo, bp
Jess Basta : vocals, body percussion -
Jessica Catron : cello, vocals, body percussion -
Christine Enns : vocals, body percussion

Together, they create post-folk, improvisation-built songs while digging into old Americana and Eastern European sounds. Their repertoire includes original music and new fruits from the old songs.
