What's the meaning of the number after the name in acapella groups? (e.g. Kenji Brantley '06) Is it possible to do this kind of arrangement with average people who just knows how to sing? Thanks!
@aztheg2nd The number represents the year they graduated/left the group after 4 years... The Clefs will tell you they can teach someone to sing their a capella style, and that you don't HAVE to be a super singer, but my opinion is that you need to be above average for this caliber of group. JMHO - don't know if they would agree with that.
@aztheg2nd For someone currently in a group, it represents their expected year of graduation - '10=2010, etc... For example, Freshmen in the Clefs this year would probably put '13 after their name because they expect to graduate in 2013...
Really enjoyed this. Probably my favorite McQuaid solo. One of Phil Collins' best vocal assets is his incredible clarity. Steve really is able to replicate that, with a bit of his own twist.
We want to let everyone know that this weekend, you'll have the opportunity to support a cause that's close to Anoop's heart, and close to ours: The Eve Marie Carson Memorial Scholarship.
If you visit our website and order our new album, Twist, THIS SATURDAY, we will donate 10% of the proceeds to the Eve Scholarship.
what are all the songs that this guy sings? i've looked at all of them and only found king of wishful thinking, dreaming with a broken heart, boston, thanks for the memories, and everything. are there any more?
Some more from Steve McQuaid on this channel are Heat Of The Moment, Aerials, Boondocks - and then several supporting/backup vocals on songs like My Love, Here And Now, Ride Wit Me, Put On/Got Money, etc.
I never get tired of listening to Steve sing. He's got a killer voice and he's right up there among my top Clef favorites! Steve rocked this song!!!! :)
oh my gosh...this is his song...i don't see how anyone could do it better...he's callin out to me! it's so haunting...i'm in a trance...he is my favorite clef...and this is my favorite clef song this and dreaming with a broken heart! love it!
That is Steve McQuaid, a 4th year Clef and President of the group this year - this vid was from his very first concert with the Clefs 2 months after joining them as a brand new Freshman at UNC. Check him out in some of his other solos like Heat Of The Moment, Dreaming With A Broken Heart, Boston, King Of Wishful Thinking, etc.
Sort of. By the time you are a Senior; yes, you're likely to have a full vest - in fact, you've probably lost some/given some away/declined to put more on... But as a new Clef, it's entirely dependant on who gives you what and when... This is Steve's very first concert as a Clef, when he was a new Freshman at UNC, so he was just starting his collection,,, By the time his next concert rolled around, he had a much bigger collection than shows here... Family/friends/fans help fill it out.
Oh mAh gAwd...I like Steve voice so Much, he sounded just like Phil Collins, I love everything about the Clef Hangers....I a huge fan of yours guys....More Power...
I love how, as soon as Steve starts singing, you can hear the crowd's response as they realize how Phil Collins-y his voice is. I love the Clefs cover of this song...
This is our all-time favorite song from Steve. As a coincedence, this was his very first solo with the Clefs, in fact his very first concert with them - as a first semester freshman brand new (2 months) to the group
Check out all that flair!

@clefhangerfan ok thank you for the info.. =) do acapella groups follow some kind of piece of paper or just follow and assign tones to each other?
