The Acappella Company's roots in Southern Gospel are
deep. Such songs as “When I Wake Up To Sleep No More”
and “I'll Have A New Life” provided a traditional
foundation for Acappella. But as Acappella explored
musical styles and expanded its repertoire to include
more contemporary sounds, the group moved away from a
Southern Gospel focus. The Vocal Union was formed in the
mid-90s to fill that niche and cover those wonderful,
heart-stirring classics.
The Vocal Union was originally
comprised of members of the studio staff at The
Acappella Company, including producers, engineers and
interns. The group's success has witnessed a host of
talent joining this ministry to continue the legacy of
the Vocal Union sound.
The driving force behind the
group is Gary Miller – song writer, recording engineer,
producer and an amazing bass singer. During his tenure,
Miller has led the Vocal Union to new heights including
international appearances, top honors in the
Contemporary a cappella Recording Awards and a concert
at Carnegie Hall. Miller has also contributed songs to
other groups in the ministry, including Acappella, AVB,
series albums and a forthcoming Praise & Harmony
project.
