AcaGeekz 2018 Holiday Special
AcaGeekz is now available on Apple Podcast and Stitcher! If you like what you hear, please leave a 5-Star rating and review and help support the show!
Welcome! Last week we re-visited 2017 with a few bonus tracks. Today is Christmas Eve, and we’re celebrating with a brand new episode! I hope all of you are having a wonderful Holiday Season! Stay tuned every week as old episodes will be re-mixed and possibly contain new tracks! And of course, brand new episodes will be coming down the pipe as well!
It’s my hope that AcaGeekz will introduce the casual listener and the hardcore a cappella fan alike to some groups and styles they’ve never heard before. Whether it be Barbershop, collegiate, doo wop, high school, choral, jazz, funk, pop, rock, or classical, there’s something for everyone!
GIVE A HELPING PAW
As noted on the final track, I have been helping to raise money for a little boy named Tyler who is in desperate need of a service dog. I even produced an a cappella concert to raise some of the money. They are very close to their goal of $15,000 and only need about $3,000 to go.
If you find that you are in a position to make a donation, and would like to help Tyler, please visit the links below to learn more about his story and how you can help give Tyler the best gift of all this Christmas, a service dog that could help save his life.
