Simply put, The Brown Derbies are Brown University's sexiest and most legendary all-male a cappella group. Founded in 1982 amidst platinum-blond mullets, Jon Bon Jovi, leopard print unitards, and economic liberalization in the developing world, The Derbies have since become one of the most well-known collegiate a cappella groups in the country. From Barbershop to Pop and Classic Rock to R&B, we enjoy performing a mixed repertoire of custom arrangements and if you're lucky, you might be graced with the occasional musical parody or skit.

Since our founding, The Derbies have released 10 studio albums which have all received critical acclaim - they may be lame a cappella organizations, but they're still critics? In the past 5 years, the Derbies have toured L.A., Las Vegas, San Francisco, the east and mid-atlantic coasts, Texas, Florida, and Cancun, Mexico. Recently, The Derbies also performed on network television's "America Sings" hosted by Drew Lachey and were featured on an acapella segment for "The Early Show" on CBS. Whether we're performing for a high school music group, a stadium of baseball fans, an unsuspecting elevator crowd, or our friends at Brown, we thrive when our audience is swooned by our musical finesse and laughing with us (laugh at us and see what happens). At one of our shows, there's a good chance you'll be serenaded from your lap or dragged on stage to get your groove on so make sure to come bathed, groomed, and prepared with a dance routine.

If we're being honest, the truth is that dancing, air-guitar, Celine Dion, and general tomfoolery is what we're all about. We love getting together to sing and if you took away the music, we'd still be great friends. Fortunately, the music isnt going away anytime soon though- we tried it, the concert was so awkward. Whether or not you think you love a cappella (we're certainly mixed on the genre), The Derbies never fail on delivering intricate musicality, funky guitar solos, fierce pelvic thrusts, and will make you feel like you were rocking out in the shower... just with less soap... more clothes... and more men.
