All-vocal
group MO5AIC (Mosaic) will begin a 12-month residency at LVH - Las Vegas Hotel
& Casino on Friday, September 27th.
The five-member vocal band that has been described by Tony Bennett as
"the best vocal group I've ever heard," will perform a brand new
70-minute show in the 350-seat Shimmer Cabaret showroom at 8:30PM on select
nights. Comedian Carlos Oscar will
perform in the showroom on nights when MO5AIC is unavailable.
MO5AIC
was the winner of MTV's Top Pop Group competition in 2008 and semi-finalists of
NBC's America's Got Talent in 2009 and has since opened for Prince, Stevie
Wonder, Taboo of the Black Eyed Peas and Jay Leno. Although the group has performed many times
in Las Vegas, including as a popular featured act in 'V - The Ultimate Variety
Show' at Planet Hollywood for the past year, this will be the group's first
headlining engagement, marking an exciting milestone for its members, Josh
Huslig, Heath Burgett, Jake Moulton, Corwyn Hodge and Roopak Ahuja. Josh, who founded MO5AIC in 2002, says: "This is the culmination of many years
of dedication and hard work for us as performers and our belief in this style
music, and also the idea that purely vocal music is a draw, that it is
something people enjoy and want to hear.
It's a very proud moment for us."
Hailing
from the tradition of A capella music, MO5AIC performs with no instruments,
using just their voices and microphones to create a full sound that frequently
has audiences puzzling over where the band is.
Says Josh: "For us, the
voice is the instrument, the raw starting point for the sound. The ways we choose to amplify or distort and
alter the voice are really no different than how a guitar player might route
through a distortion pedal of effects bank.
We are sort of a hybrid between a band and an A cappella group, and we
can hold our own next to any full instrumentation."
The
result is vocally astounding performances, such as its rendition of Bohemian
Rhapsody, that have audiences gobsmacked at what is coming out of their
mouths. MO5AIC has also garnered
accolades from many fellow performers including Boyz II Men who are currently
headlining their own Las Vegas residency at The Mirage Hotel. The two groups first met in 2007 when MO5AIC
won a nationwide search held by CBS's The Early Show for "The Next Great A
Capella Group" judged by Boyz II Men.
MO5AIC's
first big Las Vegas opportunity came in 2006 from comedian George Wallace, the
long-time late-night resident performer at the Flamingo Hotel &
Casino. Originally engaged to open for
Wallace on a 30-day trial, on the second night MO5AIC performed, Wallace was so
impressed that the group was hired immediately for a 12-month engagement,
frequently sharing the stage with Wallace during the evening's show and
exposing them to the Las Vegas entertainment community.
MO5AIC's
Shimmer Cabaret show will blend R&B, pop, rock, jazz, big band and Top 40
songs, all performed with a twist and suitable for all ages. The show will include audience interaction
and will showcase the members' endearing and entertaining camaraderie and
humor. Josh says there is something
extra special about performing at LVH, formerly the Las Vegas Hilton, with its
storied entertainment history:
"There is no question that being on the same property where Elvis
performed is cool! When you come to Las
Vegas , you learn about the history and to work here and to be a part of that
is a very gratifying feeling."
Comedian Carlos Oscar, hailed by Bill Cosby as
"a comedy treasure," will perform in the Shimmer Cabaret when MO5AIC
has other commitments. Working as a
"clean" comic, Carlos is known for his charming, witty and energetic
stage persona. He jokes most often about
the humorous side of family, pop-culture and everyday mishaps. He has appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay
Leno, HBO's Loco Slam and Comedy Central's Stand-Up Revolution. In 2012 Carlos was named Princess Cruise
Lines' Entertainer of the Year.
