VOCO - A capella during Sweet Chariot music and Art Festival

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.

I just saw you perform tonight in Campbell River in the Church on the night of the full moon. It was amazing. I'm strongly affected by music, harmonies and vocal movements. Your show was transcendent, it caused my mind to conjure visions of far away places. There were moments where it felt as if my soul was leaving my body and I was glowing another shining star in the universe. Your courage, and need to arrange music is inspiring. The energy you as lead and your ladies share is magnificent
