4 THE RECORD is a six member contemporary vocal band from central Ohio. Formed in 2009, 4 THE RECORD performs chart hits of from the 70's to the present. In 2005, while on staff at The Ohio State University at Marion, 4 THE RECORD’s Wayne Rowe lent his voice and experience as advisor and business manager to establish the campus’s first all men’s contemporary collegiate a cappella group InChant. 4 THE RECORD vocalist Kiersten Bowmer joined the fledgling college group as one of its first female members in 2006, followed by 4 THE RECORD vocalist Brittany Roszman in 2007. After years of the performing together and nearly 90 concerts, Rowe, Bowmer, and Roszman decided to take their combined a cappella knowledge, love for vocal music, and talents to the professional level. Inspired by a number of touring a cappella groups they met during annual trips to the Contemporary A Cappella Society of America’s East Coast A Cappella Summit, SingStrong A Cappella Festival, and the Mid Atlantic Harmony Sweepstakes, the 3 unlikely friends began forming ideas to build a group. They also learned a great deal through a personal friendship and advice garnered from internationally renowned a cappella group Vocaldente, from Hannover, Germany. 4 THE RECORD's first rehearsal was in June 2009, their first public performance was just a few months later as part of an annual fundraiser for the Janice Holland Streit Scholarship Fund at Brennan Loft, London, Ohio. Their first concert came as a part of "Sunday with the Arts" at the historic 1,400 seat Marion Palace Theatre, Marion, Ohio. |
