All Around Me (2004)
It's VU's newest release All Around Me and it is one of their best ever. Vocal Union takes a step forward in style as they continue to mature as an ensemble. Less "southern gospel" than their previous releases, All Around Me highlights their smooth harmonies while releasing vocal perc master Tony Brown to do his thing. The two elements combine flawlessly and make this an album you do not want to miss.

Once Upon A Tree (2000)
Everything is original, and all of it is excellent. From Beautiful ballads like Fill Me Up and East to West to upbeat foot stompers like All About My Lord and I've Got The Spirit, this is probably the best Vocal Union album ever released. Listen to the samples below and judge for yourself.
Once Upon A Tree was awarded a 2001 CARA (Contemporary A cappella Recording Award) for Best Religious Album. These awards are handed out yearly by the Contemporary A cappella Society. This album was chosen over the latest releases from three other nominees, Acappella, InsideOut, and Take 6. Congratulations to the Vocal Union!

Acappella Family Christmas (1999)
Over the years, the Acappella Company has released three Christmas albums. We brought them together and chose the best of the best to create the longplay (73 minutes!) Acappella Family Christmas. Several of the songs have been remixed with new vocals, and we've thrown in four new songs as well... including Acappella's great arrangement of Little Drummer Boy.
This album is also available on iTunes, MSN Music, and Napster.

We've Got To Sing (1996)
The second album from the Vocal Union. Standards like Rumormill from the Gaithers, all the way to new soon-to-be standards like There Never Was A Pulpit Like The Old Rugged Cross. An excellent choice for your collection.

The Vocal Union (Acappella Series) (1995)
Their first album and still everyone's favorite. This self titled album contains some absolutely amazing bass as well as some of the most beautiful tenor work you'll ever hear. Listed as one of the most favorite albums released by the Acappella Company, The Vocal Union should be on your shelf.

Vocal Union is an all-vocal, contemporary Gospel group from Nashville, Tennessee. They began as a group of studio interns in 1995 experimenting with recording vocal arrangements of traditional gospel music. The sound they produced found a niche in many churches around the country, and the decision was made in 1998 to make Vocal Union a touring group. Since that time, Vocal Union has traveled extensively, performing for special church events, community concerts, and fundraisers. The group primarily travels throughout the United States, but has also ventured to select venues in Canada and Jamaica. Vocal Union has performed at a wide variety of venues including a performance of sacred Christmas music at Carnegie Hall in December of 2005 in Manhattan, New York, and two performances at the White House Christmas celebration in Washington, D.C. in December of 2006. The group's fan base has spread worldwide through distribution by Word Records. Fans from Iceland, Nigeria, Brazil, and many other countries all over the world have signed the group's online guest book and illustrate Vocal Union's strong international appeal.
Two Vocal Union recording projects: "Once Upon A Tree" and "All Around Me" have earned awards from the Contemporary Acappella Society of America. "Once Upon A Tree" was awarded the Best Religious Album of the Year in 2001 against stiff competition from the very highly acclaimed groups Take 6 and Acappella.
"All Around Me" was awarded runner up for Best Religious Album of the Year in 2005 from The Contemporary Acappella Society of America. This album also produced the song "Livin Love" which was awarded runner up for the Best Religious Song of the Year. The group's most recent project: "Just Like the
Old Days" was released in 2007 and is a return to the high-energy traditional sound that the group began with in 1995. Thus far, the album has received a warm reception from audiences throughout the United States, and the group has already started putting together material for their next project. "Once Upon A Tree", "All Around Me", and "Just Like the Old Days" are available online at the group's website www.vocalunion.com, in many Christian bookstores, and in seven major international markets.
Vocal Union's style ranges from high-energy traditional, to tight-harmony jazz and soulful spirituals, to contemporary street corner acappella. The group tailors the set list to match the demographics of the audience so everyone from the very young to the very old will find something to enjoy during their concerts. Many of their songs feature vocal percussion and "vocal bass guitar" to firmly establish the rhythmic element, and the inner voicings are meticulously arranged and seriously performed to perfection. The group is blessed with some of the finest soloists in Christian music and all of them love to sing with their hearts!
"Our goal is to sing the Gospel to as many as possible - whenever and wherever - to teach, uplift, and encourage!"
