GLAD


GLAD, the band, began on the campus of West Chester State University near Philadelphia, PA in the early '70's. Formed as a progressive Christian rock band with classical/jazz leanings and an emphasis on complex vocals, the band began to dabble with a cappella in 1980. In '81 the group signed with Benson Records; the group's sound evolved over time into a sophisticated pop/jazz style, with one a cappella offering on each recording. As an experiment, in 1988 the group recorded an entire album of a cappella - a mixture of original tunes and elaborately re-arranged hymns. The public responded in a big way by purchasing over 300,000 copies of "The Acapella Project", and GLAD began to alternate their "band" and a cappella recordings.
