Wide who?

Wide Variety is a group of six singers who love to entertain. We take the best of rock and roll, R&B and popular standards, add our unique blend of vocal harmonies (and slightly dysfunctional personalities) and deliver a truly unique entertainment experience.

Why a cappella?

A cappella entertainment - pure vocals, no instruments - can be as exciting as a stage concert, as fun-filled as a living room or poolside party or as intimate as a love song over candlelight. No other form of live entertainment offers this many planning options, this degree of flexibility or this amount of guest involvement and interaction.

Why Wide Variety?

A cappella entertainment "Wide Variety style" takes the experience to the next level. We don’t take ourselves seriously, but we take the music, our harmonies and your event’s success very seriously. Your guests are treated to an event featuring timeless music, real characters and great fun, all built around vocal arrangements of a wide range of popular hits.

A tradition of excellence

As Wide Variety (and as Special Delivery, our former name), we have been performing all over the tri state area for over fifteen years at some of the largest venues and for some of the friendliest people.

Lovin' the music

There’s a world of great music out there, and we add our "touch" to as much of it as we can. From Billie Holiday to Billy Joel, the Beach Boys, the Four Seasons, Clapton and the streetcorner classics, we have designed our repertoire and crafted our arrangements to give you the "widest variety" and the richest harmonies: an entertainment experience that will appeal to music lovers of all ages.

To give you an idea, here’s a list of many (but not all) of the songs that Wide Variety can perform for you and your guests at your next big event:

Another Saturday Night (Sam Cooke), Banana Boat Song (Day-O) (Harry Belafonte), Beach Boys Medley (featuring I Get Around, Surfin’ USA, Help Me Rhonda, Surfer Girl, California Girls and many more), Beyond The Sea (Bobby Darin), Blue Moon (The Marcels), Come Go With Me (The Dell Vikings), Four Seasons Medley (featuring Let’s Hang On, Rag Doll, Big Man In Town, Workin’ My Way Back to You), In My Room (Beach Boys), The Longest Time (Billy Joel), Mister Bassman (Johnny Cymbal), Sixteen Tons (Tennessee Ernie Ford), So Much In Love (The Tymes), Under The Boardwalk (The Drifters), Until The Real Thing Comes Along (Billie Holiday), Wonderful Tonight (Eric Clapton), Your Promise To Be Mine (The Drifters)

In addition, we can perform the songs that would give your event just the right touch including "America The Beautiful", the National Anthem and "Happy Birthday To You". We can provide the required solemnity to your religious reception with our rendition of "The Lord’s Prayer" or a Jewish blessing.

Special request? Drop us a line. If we can get it done for you, we will!

Lovin' our friends

The best part about doing what we do is the friendships we’ve made. Whatever the event - concert, corporate function, family celebration - we have been blessed to have made hundreds of friends and have enjoyed thousands of laughs over the years. We’re looking forward to continuing that tradition with you, at your next event.
