Tufts Beelzebubs

Tufts University

Every other year, one of the nation’s most popular, most respected a cappella groups releases their latest work to the general public. Each album finds within its eclectic track list a new way to approach a cappella music-making, which helps make the Tufts Beelzebubs – known as simply the Bubs to the aca-initiated – a force to be reckoned with.

They have performed almost everywhere in the world, traveling all over the country and to destinations abroad, even finding themselves on network television – twice – during their time on NBC’s a cappella competition show “The Sing-Off,” when they came in second place during the first season of the show, and moonlighting as The Warblers on the Fox hit show “Glee.” To attempt chronicling all of their prestigious appearances in one blog post would be an exercise in futility – the Bubs have, quite simply, been almost everywhere.

As far as their studio works are concerned, each of their previous albums has been celebrated by both the Contemporary A cappella Recording Awards (CARAs) and multiple album review sites, including the Recorded A cappella Review Board (RARB). Their tracks appear regularly in every heralded a cappella compilation out there, from Best of College A cappella (BOCA) to the SING series.
