The House Jacks is "the original rock band without instruments"
SF Chronicle

The House Jacks of San Francisco are the original "rock band without instruments." Using nothing more than their five voices (and mouths), they deliver everything from blistering funk to screaming rock to heart-melting ballads for their ever-growing legions of fans.

'Til Dawn, Youth in Arts' award winning a capella group has been performing for over a decade and is comprised entirely of high school students ranging in age from 13 to 18. This group is an inspiration for many young people, using a contemporary song list to make a capella accessible to audiences of all ages. The group is widely recognized for its ability to expose young audiences to this musical art and, through their vocal and performing abilities, to impress upon audiences the power, passion and capability of youth.
