This dynamic foursome has been electrifying audiences aroundthe world for over 25 years. ACOUSTIX has appeared on CNN, NBC’s “Today Show,” TNN’s “The Statler Brothers Show,” and two PBS specials. At the turn of the 21st century, ACOUSTIX performed for a global audience of 175 million viewers on “ABC 2000,” hosted by Peter Jennings.
Their most recent national television appearances were national anthem performances at the NBA Finals in 2011 and 2007. ACOUSTIX has shared the stage with many talented acts, including the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, LeAnn Rimes, The Dixie Chicks, The King’s Singers, Mitch Miller, Isaac Stern, Pete Fountain, Victor Borge, The FourFreshmen, The Gatlins, The Canadian Brass, The Dallas Wind Symphony, and the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra.
ACOUSTIX recently contributed their talents to two new Bill Gaither Homecoming video projects, Amazing Grace, and Rock of Ages. Some of the other artists involved included Randy Owen, the Oak Ridge Boys, Ernie Haase & Signature Sound, the Gaither Vocal Band, the Isaacs and Brenda Lee.
The quartet has made close to 1000 appearances in 47 states of the USA and six provinces of Canada. Bookings outside North America have taken the quartet to Japan, Great Britain, Austria, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Germany, Australia, Saudi Arabia and Switzerland. Traveling to well over 300 cities around the globe, from Carnegie Hall in New York, Roy Thompson Hall in Toronto to Muse Arc Hall in Tokyo, ACOUSTIX has performed in some of the greatest concert venues in the world.
ACOUSTIX predominantly a cappella repertoire showcases a wide variety of musical styles including Vocal Jazz, Gospel, Sacred, Doo-Wop, Contemporary Christian, Patriotic, Inspirational music and even a bit of Barbershop Harmony. From a standard like “Bye-Bye Blackbird” to “I Get Around” from the Beach Boys, to a collection of hits from Simon & Garfunkel, to John Philip Sousa’s “Stars & Stripes Forever,” ACOUSTIX sings a broad variety of musical selections that appeal to audiences of all ages.
The quartet has collaborated with some of the greatest vocal arrangers in the business, including Gene Puerling, Dr. Kirby Shaw and Mervyn Warren, to name a few.
ACOUSTIX has produced five CD projects since 1991 and have appeared on another 21 audio and video releases. Their latest disc, “O Worship The King” continues their tradition of exploring different musical genres. Two of their releases, “cool yule” and “Jazz, Jazz, Jazz,” have garnered a combined three nominations for a CARA (Contemporary A Cappella Recording Award) in three different categories. Cuts from their first two discs “stars & stripes” and “The new science of sound” have been included in American Airlines “in-flight” audio programming.
Todd Wilson, Jason January, Rick Middaugh, and Joel T. Rutherford share a combined 100+ years of stage and studio vocal experience. Their emphasis on ENTERTAINMENT has helped create a loyal group of fans. Some of these folks have been known to fly or drive 1000+ miles to see ACOUSTIX perform “live.”

“ACOUSTIX was superb! We enjoyed the wide variety of music they presented, and were very pleased with how well they connected with our audience. A very family friendly concert, which appeals to all ages and musical tastes! We look forward to having ACOUSTIX with us again sometime.”
— Mark Hanson, Associate Director, Benson Great Hall, Bethel University
THE REVIEWS ARE IN!
I just listened to your “o Worship the King” project and it is wonderful! I loved it! A big new fan!— Bill Gaither
“My deep appreciation for your smashingly beautiful performance of “Unforgettable.” Adding Jim Clancy and son Greg to frame the already great ACOUSTIX sound was marvelous. It was a pleasure to arrange this lovely song for you and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results.”
— Gene Puerling, The Singers Unlimited & The Hi-Lo’s
“ACOUSTIX has taken a cappella singing to a whole new level. Very Impressive!”
— Kirby Shaw, jazz arranger, choral director & teacher
“I’ve enjoyed listening to my Acoustix CD’s very much indeed. I can tell right away that you’re four well prepared, enthusiastic, and talented singers. I liked the variety, the fine engineering, and the tasteful arranging. Obviously, my personal tastes go towards the jazz-influenced pieces, which come off very well. Please congratulate everyone involved, while accepting my heartfelt good wishes for continued success in the New Year. All the best”
— Ward Swingle, founder of the Swingle Singers
“When Todd Wilson asked me to listen to “Jazz, Jazz, Jazz,” I was very honored. After hearing the CD, I must say it is a great effort by a group of great singers. These guys are also part of the International Championship chorus, the Vocal Majority and International Quartet Champions of the Barbershop Harmony Society. This CD shows the versatility of ACOUSTIX and should be a part of any vocal group collection. On behalf of the Four Freshmen, I thank them for including these Freshmen tunes on “Jazz, Jazz, Jazz.”
— Bob Flanigan, The Four Freshmen
“ACOUSTIX has a blend that’s one moment so creamy you want to pour it on a waffle, the next so steely you could scour the waffle iron with it!”
— Tony Backhouse, Sydney Australia A Cappella Association
“ACOUSTIX is once again transcending barbershop tradition, going into the new age, all without forgetting the past.”
— Peter Jennings, ABC NEWS
“Every consonant was so well synchronized that they sounded like a single mouth with four sets of vocal chords.”
— Angie Hill, Deseret News - Salt Lake City, UT

Update 5/13/15
o WorshiP The KinGACOUSTIX continues their tradition of presenting a wide variety of musical styles with this heavenly blend of Inspirational, Sacred, Gospel and Contemporary Christian selections, including: O Worship the King, You’ll Never Walk Alone, The Lord’s Prayer, Hymns of the Cross Medley (In the Cross, Beneath the Cross, Old Rugged Cross), My Tribute, Breathe On Me Breath of God, Fear Not My Child, What Wondrous Love is This and O Sacred Head Now Wounded Medley, My Lord and I, Swing Low Sweet Chariot, American / Canadian Ode to Joy, featuring the Toronto Northern Lights Chorus, I’ll Fly Away Medley (I’ll Fly Away, I Saw The Light, Will the Circle Be Unbroken and This Little Light of Mine) This disc includes new custom vocal charts from some of the biggest names in vocal music, like Gene Puerling, Kirby Shaw, Jim Clancy and Jay Giallombardo. While predominantly a cappella in content, a few cuts feature accompaniment from a simple drum track to an 18-piece big band. $15 CD
cooL yuLeNominated for a “2000 CARA” Award for Best Holiday Song. Acoustix once again has released an amazing album. This one however, if you couldn’t tell by the title, is a collection of some of the most inventive arrangements of Christmas music around. I’ll admit, I received my copy after Christmas, but as soon as I pressed play, I felt like it was that time of year again! Most songs here make your mouth drop with the amount of talent these guys possess. Absolutely perfect tuning that sends chills down your back. It’s also nice how they’re able to switch from pure jazz to barbershop quartet and everything in the middle. My personal favorite is You’re a Mean One Mr. Grinch arranged by Greg Volk and sung by Joel T. Rutherford, in my opinion, the best bass in the business. Being a Christmas album it’s not something one could play all year long, but as far as Christmas albums go, this is one of the best that I’ve heard. It’s full of a nice variety of music that is fun and pleasing to listen to. There are also many parts that you’ll have to stop what you’re doing just to enjoy the pure genius that is Acoustix. This one’s a keeper. – Chris Salnier, Recorded A Cappella Review Board $15 CD
JaZZ, JaZZ, JaZZNominated for two 1999 CARA Awards, one for Best Jazz Album and another for Best Jazz Song, for Gene Puerling’s arrangement of Unforgettable, which features guest vocalists Jim and Greg Clancy (Director and Assistant Director of the Vocal Majority). The foursome presents a cache of songs guaranteed to please a wide variety of listeners. The title track “Jazz, Jazz, Jazz”, is a homage to the greats of the era: Nat, Benny, Frank, and of course, the Four Freshmen, to whom Acoustix pay tribute throughout this album. Five of the songs feature orchestral accompaniment from the Dallas Jazz Orchestra and the Steve Lehmann Big Band on “Jazz, Jazz, Jazz,” “Day by Day,” “Poinciana,” “Graduation Day / It’s a Blue World” and “Route 66.” Wendy Wilson DeCrow performs on “The Nearness of You” and the quartet performs Pete Rupay’s All The Way. Many arrangements on the CD were done by the Greg Volk, including Straighten Up And Fly Right, Orange Colored Sky, Answer Me My Love, Shine On Your Shoes / Steppin’ Out Medley, and the closing medley of Simon and Garfunkel hits is presented as a bonus track. $15 CD
