COATS
Continued from Page 4B
This quartet is sure to impress
you with sounds ranging from
squeaky falsetto to booming bass
all produced from the style and
imagination of its own voices.
The Trenchoats characteristic
spin on songs is produced all with
out the help of instruments, but
with this “a cappella extraordinaire"
you won’t feel like you're missing
out on the benefit of instruments.
The group's voices alone are
enough to leave you humming
catchy tunes and melodies all of
the way home.
In fact, The Trenchcoats style
is reminiscent of the Nylons and
the Manhattan Transfer, only you
may find a little more novelty and
diversity in its performances The
7 cannot emphasize enough how everyone
thoroughly enjoyed themselves! The response
of the audience was full of compliments and
the upmost praise.'
Gina Gilher
Central Washington University, performing arts coordinator
Trenchcoats repertoire spans the
popular hits of over four decades
and includes everything from 50s
doo wop. jazz, country and clas
sical ballads to rap
The Trenchcoats started this
vocal synergy by bouncing har
monies off of the walls of the Uni
versity of Washington campus
and to the patrons of Pike's
Street Market.
During the past five years the
group has performed at such
famous events as Seattle's Bum
bershoot (estival. Seattle
Manners games. Seattle Super -
sonics games. The Bite ot Seat
tle. King T V's Evening Show
and at a myriad ol colleges and
private parties throughout the
Northwest
Soon the University will be able
to hear the sweet melodies ot the
Trenchcoats on its very own cam
pus during the Willamette Valley
Folk Festival May 21-23
