I've never submitted to NEohioPAL before so I'm not sure how much detail to provide, but I will just attach all of the information. Please let me know if I should cut this down or if I should provide any additional materials. Thank you! Jacob Have you been feeling a severe lack of A Cappella around the Cleveland area? Are you an ex-A Cappella singer from school and miss the feeling of sinking into that perfect blend? Are you someone who has always wanted to show off their shower-singing skills to the world? Or are you just an avid A Cappella enthusiast who wishes there was so much more A Cappella music to go around? Well we have the solution.. We are *Harmonious*, Cleveland's soon to be newest professional A Cappella group! We are founded by Jacob Damsky and Michael Crowley, two A Cappella lovers who crave being in a group again, surrounded by amazing singers, and sharing their passion and music with everyone! We will be hosting auditions this weekend and we want to get the group up and running ASAP! Auditions will be open to anyone and we are looking to fill all voice parts as well as vocal percussion. Additionally, if you have any experience writing or arranging music for A Cappella, or directing past groups, those are a huge plus! Auditions will be 10-15 minutes and will be held at the Blank Canvas Theater (1305 W 78th St Suite 211, Cleveland, OH 44102) on December 19th (3:00-5:30 PM) and 20th (3:00-6:00 PM). For the audition please prepare two contrasting 30 second songs to sing without accompaniment. If you are interested, please comment on the page with your preferred time and we will let you know if it is available.

Here are bios for Jacob and Michael: *Jacob Damsky* is the former co-musical director and business manager of the Vassar Devils, one of Vassar College’s premier a cappella groups. Jacob graduated with a major in Biology this past spring and moved to Cleveland for work. He is a baritone but sang both tenor and bass in the group, while also receiving classical vocal coaching in the bass/baritone range for four years. The Vassar Devils have recently become known for making it to the ICCA finals last year and appearing on Pop Tv’s, ”Sing it On” reality TV show based on the competition. Throughout the course of the competition the Devils won six awards in total, including two awards for best arrangements and two for best choreography. The Devils have performed in multiple venues all over the North East, and were recently invited to perform for the President and First Lady at the White House holiday reception this year. Jacob is active in the Cleveland musical theater community and also occasionally performs at open mic nights around the city either alone or with his band. *Michael Crowley* is a former four year member of the Kent State's premier a cappella group the Kent Clarks. As a member of the Kent Clarks, he served as the tenor section leader while studying for his BFA in Musical Theatre. The Kent Clarks have performed for the President, First Lady, and their guests at the White House last Christmas, as well as for the nation last May on the Today Show. The Clarks also appeared at the ICCAs in 2013 Great Lakes Quarterfinal placing 4th, and again in 2013 placing 3rd. He is an active member of the Cleveland theatre community but will be picking up his roots and relocating to NYC in the new year.
