17th Avenue Allstars to perform at JUC Live!

From their earliest gigs standing by a jukebox at Acappella’s restaurant in downtown Denver to becoming the winners of the national Harmony Sweepstakes, the 17th Avenue Allstars have been leaders in a cappella musical performance for two decades.

The 17th Avenue Allstars span a wide variety of musical styles, from the ’50s to Maroon 5, with selections from doo-wop, R&B and pop music. The group has sung at the Aspen and Winter Park Jazz Festivals, the Town of Vail, and has twice been named the official anthem singers for the Denver Broncos. They are a popular opening band for many performers, including the Nylons, Dave Mason, the Temptations and B.B. King. The Harmony Sweepstakes, the premier competition for vocal harmony, refers to the group as the “bright stars of contemporary a cappella.”

This is the second of five concerts in this year’s JUC Live! concert series. JUC Live!, a not-for-profit performing arts series, showcases local and national artists performing a diverse variety of musical genres including folk, jazz, blues, world, pop and classical music.
