About After the Bar
After the Bar is a part-time professional all-male A Cappella group based in Philadelphia that performs contemporary music.
The group consists of eight members with extensive A Cappella experience. After the Bar prides itself on its close-knit harmonies and custom arrangements. The groups fits well in an array of venues (with or without microphones) and carries repertoire that is diverse enough for almost any occasion. Requests can be made for songs not found in our repertoire for those who want the perfect song for their special occasion!
After the Bar was founded in 2007 as a post-collegiate A Cappella group composed primarily of alumni from Drexel University’s 8 to the Bar. “8 to” the Bar became “After” the Bar. Contrary to popular belief, the group members are not all lawyers. However, at the advice of the lawyers in the group, we can confirm that we frequent bars.
As of 2018, members of the group who did NOT attend Drexel now outnumber those who have. As a result, the official description is now “a part-time professional group consisting of men from across the tri-state area”.
An example of After the Bar’s performances include:
- Charity Events - such as Alex’s Lemonade Stand, Adult Congenital Heart Association Heart Walk and the Pennsylvania Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
- National Anthem - Philadelphia Phillies and the Lehigh Valley IronPigs
- Birthday Sing-a-grams and Birthday Parties
- Weddings
- Proposals
- Speeches - inserting clips of songs in the speech itself
- Cocktail Hours
- Christmas Events - Christmas Village (every year since 2013), Philadelphia RiverRink Winterfest and private Christmas Parties
