Here’s some more names we compiled before we came up with AHQ. This is in honor of our recent struggle to name our new album that we’re in the middle of recording.

The Western Pacific Valley A Cappella Extremely Conservative Mennonite Singers. One of my favorites. This one leaves ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT about where we stand.

Take 4.

4 Over Par. We love golf.

4 Under Par.

The Wannabe 4. Perhaps the most accurate and descriptive of all the names thus far.

4 for One.

Jars of Stone. Hey, this “jars” idea worked for one group.

Jars of Mud.

Jars of Mortar.

Jars of Water.

Jars of Oil.

The Clay Pots.

The Cookie Jars. Get it? The pitchpipe is called a cookie.

Ye Olde Tyme Gospel Singers. Has a certain quaint feel to it.

A Cappella Abstracts. Doesn’t that feel modern and edgy?

Awful A Cappella.

Ernest A Cappella.

Ernest Goes A Cappella.

Low Bass Singing A Cappella. Yeah Konrad!

Tenuous Tones. How encouraging.


This album-naming process actually wasn't too bad. We've decided on the working title "Purpose." 12 or 13 songs, different styles (including a great barbershop arrangement, a couple spirituals, three originals, a rare-back-and-sing Southern Gospel tune, and a classic hymn). I'm excited about it.
