Showtime!


6 months in the making, "The Really Big MVE Show" is tomorrow! This is the men's a cappella (unaccompanied) chorus I sing with. Midwest Vocal Express is known for it's costumes and singing, and you'll get a good dose of both in the show. It opens with us dressed as fish in an aquarium, longing for the open sea.

We'll end the show dressed as ________ (it's a surprise!)

In between we've got some great special guests: The Humdingers, from Mainstreet USA at a very famous Orlando theme park (lawyers won't let us use the name.)

Nightwatch, a local comedy quartet who just won the Chicago Regional Harmony Sweepstakes. They're all costumed up like Broadway characters who've been on stage too long.

Marcus Monroe, extreme juggler from Shorewood. You've seen him at Summerfest and other festivals (the kid on the unicycle juggling knives.)

Through the magic of TV, Ed Sullivan is our MC on the Big Screen.

2:00pm and 7:30pm the curtain goes up at the South Milwaukee Performing Arts Center. There's only 15 rows of seats for close-up viewing, and the sound is perfect.


If you can't make the show, you can always buy our DVD of past costumed songs that we've taken to International Competition.



We're a non-profit organization of guys that love to sing, and if you sing, for heaven's sake, visit us any Monday Night at St. Luke's Lutheran Church in Greendale.

B'shoppin' on the Morning Blend


TV; it's radio with pictures, and it's always fun to dip a toe in that pool. This morning I sang with a quartet put together from the Midwest Vocal Express men's chorus. (L-R Dave, Lips, James, Jeremy) Click the picture to hear us sing "Happy Together" and see our segment on The Morning Blend on Today's TMJ 4 TV.

"Morning Blend" hosts Allison and Molly get into the spirit of the MVE Fish Songs.

Here's the shameless plug for our show, June 16. 2007 at South Milwaukee PAC.

Before the "Blend," we made a swing by The Mathew Blades In The Morning Show on 94.5 KTI to sing a custom jingle for them.
