In this week's episode, hosts Deke Sharon and Rob Dietz sit down
with
two of the current members of The Kinsey Sicks, "America's
Favorite
Dragapella Beautyshop Quartet." The hilarious and
musically-talented
Jeff Manabat and Nathan Marken, AKA the current Trixie and
Winnie,
talk through the group's humble and socially-minded beginnings
in
1993, and how the members of the group have remained faithful to
their original authenticity and political mindset up to and
through the most recent celebration of their 25th anniversary.
With heart, sincerity, and pure fun, Jeff and Nathan discuss
the importance of finding purpose and intention in song
choice, and how the a cappella community can continue to lift
up different identities and performances that might not always
fit the mold.
Additional segments: History Minute featuring Lisa Forkish about
the
group that inspired the movie Pitch Perfect, and a Sound Tutorial
with
Kid Beyond.
