MCCHOIR's First LIVE ALBUM!

THE ARTIST IN ME

At MCCHOIR we had so much fun at our end of year concert that we just had to record it so that our fans can re-live the magic of our concert spectacular over and over again. Our producer Jared Haschek and Engineer Phil Threlfall have been putting together the final mix at The Base Recording Studios ahead of an anticipated July release at our mid year concert with CHIME choir.
The set list includes current hits as well as live versions of some of our most popular original tunes that have never sounded better.

Featuring Melbourne's own Sean Donehue on many of the tracks this initial collaboration has been cemented with Sean agreeing to head up our auditioned gospel group MCGOSPEL who are about to take Melbourne by storm. Sean blew our audience away with his powerhouse vocals and his young energetic delivery really wowed the crowd. Backed by a 9 piece band, this is our biggest and best concert yet and one you will want to have on re-play all year round.

With songs from Dear Evan Hansen, The Greatest Showman, DNCE, Charlie Puth, Sam Smith, Pentatonix, Gloria Gaynor and more - this is a true feast for the ears.

Here's the complete set list:

As a special treat we have collaborated with Melbourne based beat-boxer Jacob Alexander (Drums of War) on the Pentatonix arrangement of John Lenon's "Imagine" which was a real highlight of the night. This new radio mix will be on your repeat playlist for sure! It was great having Jacob come into the studio and demonstrate his amazing vocal percussion skills and we're really looking forward to working with him again in the future.

Look out for this new album from our sold out show - our first album with popular covers as well as our best loved originals. The title track "The Artist In Me" truely captures the essence of this eclectic group of vocalists. This new live recording capturing the audiences reactions certainly brought back all the excitement and crowd participation we enjoyed on the night and you're going to love re-living all the magic of this amazing show.
