The annual A Cappella Festival returns to the Tower Theatre on February 9-11, 2018! A Cappella groups from throughout the Northwest will perform, learn and collaborate. Headlined by the incredible House Jacks, this festival will also feature a competition by over a dozen groups from throughout the Pacific Northwest.

Friday Night Performance

On Friday night audiences will thrill to the exciting sound of The House Jacks. Founded in 1991, the House Jacks are the original “rock band without instruments.” Audience members will be electrified by the songs performed by these five talented musicians using only their voices.

Saturday Night Singing

Groups from throughout Oregon as well as California are signed up to perform on Saturday, singing in our friendly competition to see who wins cash prizes! We have two divisions, Junior and Senior High School, and College & Beyond, with a variety of great sounds. The House Jacks will be judging, and Deke Sharon will be our exciting MC!!
