SPRINGFIELD, Mo. — The hottest a cappella vocal band in Christian music, Praise-Apella, will be performing at Evangel University’s Homecoming Concert, Friday, Oct. 9, at 7:30 p.m., in the Chapel Auditorium.

Praise-Apella imitates instrumentation through voice, creating a band without instruments.

“Their tight harmonies, coupled with vocal percussion and bass, are amazing,” said Paul K. Logsdon, Evangel spokesman.

The group has performed with major Contemporary Christian recording artists such as Michael W. Smith, AVALON, Natalie Grant, Brandon Heath, Leeland, The Katinas, Superchick and ZOEgirl.

“This is their first concert in the Springfield area,” said Logsdon.

“We recommend a visit to their Web site at www.praise-apella.com for samples of their music and an introductory video,” he added.
