Accent

In the increasingly popular world of a cappella singing groups, Accent has carved out its own niche. The six men of Accent, all of them accomplished arrangers and instrumentalists, decided to take their love of close-harmony jazz singing as far as it could go. The improbable meeting of Jean-Baptiste Craipeau (France), Simon Åkesson (Sweden), Danny Fong (Canada), Andrew Kesler (Canada), James Rose (United Kingdom), and Evan Sanders (USA) began in 2011. Since then, they have released four albums, performed at the London A Cappella Festival, and played dates across Europe, North America and Asia.
