Biographical/Historical
In 1996, College of Music student Phil Johnson founded the Accafellas at Michigan State University. In 1997, the newfound group released their debut album, Accafellas Volume I, which is currently out of print. In 2000, the Accafellas released Accafellas Volume II. In 2004, the Accafellas released Accafellas Volume III, a much more polished effort which would serve as a great influence on future Accafellas releases. In 2006, the Accafellas released "Accafellas Volume IV". Their version of the song "You and I Both" by Jason Mraz appeared on Varsity Vocals' Best of College a Cappella compilation that same year. In 2009, the Accafellas released "Accafellas Volume V".
In addition, The Accafellas have competed multiple times in the International Championship for Collegiate Acapella (ICCA). They have won awards at these competitions for their arrangements and soloists, most notably advancing to the regional semi-finals in 2008, 2013, and 2015.
The Fellas perform all over campus and throughout the Midwest. The group has previously performed at the White House and at the Michigan Governor's Mansion. (Source: https://www.msufellas.com/about/)
