Rachael chats with Impromptu, an 8 member contemporary a cappella group based out of Indianapolis, Indiana. Founded in May of 2017, Impromptu formed from Ball State’s college a cappella scene and some mutual friends who wanted to come together, hang out and make music. Their unique sound is the result of a tight and soulful blend, some R&B, Pop and Jazz influences and a little sensuality. Originally aired July 16th, 2018.
