The internationally acclaimed vocal group Countermeasure will be singing at The Act Arts Centre in Maple Ridge this Saturday, March 15.
Countermeasure features 13 of Canada’s top vocal talents performing innovative a cappella arrangements of pop favourites, jazz standards and original compositions in a dramatic show that entertains audiences around the world.
Led by award-winning composer/arranger Aaron Jensen, the group has shared stages with a cappella giants including Naturally 7 and The Swingle Singers, and top 40 stars like Corey Hart and Blue Rodeo.
They have wowed audiences on two U.S. and several Canadian tours, and in the UK at London a Cappella Festival, Edinburgh Festival Fringe, London-area theatres, and more. They also performed the opening concert at the world-renowned Vocalmente Festival in Italy. The videos for their original songs “Life is Fine” and “Fox in the Field”, from their latest album release “Made to Measure” have about 500,000 YouTube views.
Countermeasure's original song 'Takin' It Home' was featured on the popular TV series Schitt's Creek, and performed by Eugene Levy and the Jazzagals in the season four episode titled 'The Jazzaguy'.
They have won multiple awards from Contemporary A Cappella Society of America, include Best CAL Album, best video, and for song writing.
