It's the first weekend in May, and the sold-out audience at Marin Veterans Auditorium in San Rafael, CA is buzzing with anticipation of seeing the Harmony Sweepstakes Finals, possibly the best live show in a cappella! 8 Regional-winning groups are backstage, having beat out as many as 8 other groups for the privilege of singing their hearts out for the National Championship. 'Finals' has 16 of the best tunes from that memorable night, including Bay Area winner Clockwork's jazzy 'My Baby Just Cares For Me,' and wonderful cover of Radiohead's 'Creep,' part of an excellent set that won them 3rd place, and the award for 'Best Original Arrangement.' We hear Mid-Atlantic-winning Regency's 'Only You' and high-energy 'Jump, Jive and Wail,' part of a great set that won them 2nd place. LA barbershop quartet Hi Fidelity, in 'Addams Family' costume, bring us the 'Addams Family' theme and a key-bending, hilarious 'Blackbird,' they won both Audience Favorite and the National Championship. New York Quartet 'Round Midnight's 'Take the A-Train' and 'Tin Roof Blues,' Chicago's Elmo Thumm's 'Last Train to Clarksville' and 'Shooting Star,' Denver's Curious Gage's 'Long Train Runnin'' and 'Windmills' show us how good Hi-Fidelity had to be to win. Boston's Traces sing 'As' and 'Wonderful World,' which won Best Original Song,' and the Pacific NW's Tongue Tied A Cappella give us a dynamic cover of the Starship's 'We Built This City.' Exciting cuts from a magic May evening in San Rafael!
