Euphonism - The Vocal Band

Charlie Meininger

Charlie first tried singing a cappella in 1993, when he joined his high school's oldies and madrigal group. From there, it quickly spiraled into an addiction. He became a founding member of the vocal support group Gang of Six, which did not provide much help in his quest to kick the habit, as most of the group sessions devolved into rehearsing. This group would provide support to Charlie throughout his college career. At Vanderbilt, he joined and directed the Variations, a co-ed group on campus. However, they introduced him to the ultimate a cappella gateway technique: vocal percussion. The first time Charlie tried this, it solidified his addiction to a cappella, and he decided to embrace the harsh lifestyle. He went on to join and direct Temporary Reprieve at Wake Forest University, while quietly putting out 2 albums with Gang of Six on the side. Charlie has travelled all over the country and to the Bahamas to sing a cappella, including a stint in Los Angeles sharing a billing with the B-52's and Paul McCartney with Gang of Six. Charlie has been featured on many a cappella albums, and has twice been a judge for the annual Wootten A cappella Festival. Currently, Charlie is a member of the vocal band Euphonism where he lays down phat bass lines and assorted vocal percussion hits. He is not married to Scarlett Johanessen, but neither is John Baer.
