Sixteen men wearing black blazers, white shirts, and blue jeans stood in front of a crowd of around 50 people. It was the Southern Gentlemen‘s winter concert on Tuesday night. The group performed in the lobby of the Meadows School of the Arts’ Owen Center.

The audience yelled members’ names to show support during the concert. Vocal performance major Marissa Pyron attended with friends.

“I am trying to support my fellow a cappella groups,” said Pyron, a member of the new co-ed a cappella group Stampede.

Pyron likes that the Southern Gentlemen is composed of a variety of majors and not only vocal performance.

The all-male a cappella group performed ten songs which included: seven group numbers and three solos. The songs’ genres ranged from oldies to soul to Top 40 music. Sophomore Luke Nassar performed John Legend’s 2006 song “Save Room.”

“Save room for my love. Save room for a moment to be with me,” crooned Luke Nassar while strumming on his guitar.

Southern Gentlemen had the crowd dancing and singing along to their rendition of The Isley Brother’s 1959 hit “Shout.”

First-year Matthew Moròn believes Southern Gentlemen stand out compared to other all-male a cappella groups.

“They have a certain charisma,” said Moròn, a vocal performance major. “They make you want to listen.”
