Why us

What you get

  • Works outdoors

    Patios, beaches and park stages. Our sound carries without a wall of speakers behind it.

  • Easy to programme

    Quick changeovers make us an easy fit between other acts on a festival stage.

  • All ages

    Kids love the beatbox, grandparents know the harmonies, and everyone in between sings along.

How it works

Three steps to the stage

  1. Send the date, stage and slot length.
  2. We confirm tech needs with your stage manager.
  3. We play, we meet the crowd, we clear the stage for the next act.
Start with step one
“Their rendition of O Canada was spectacular - we have had a number of comments on this - it was, to say the least, moving. We have had a number of good singers for O Canada in the past but none has elicited the response, the emotion that came when 6 Minute Warning sang it.”
Thea HawrylukExecutive Assistant and Administration Manager, Alberta Chamber of Resources
“This is a seriously-talented ensemble ... the CD went into my 5-disc player later that month and has stayed there to this very day.”
Paul GrindlayMusical Director, Calgary Boy's Choir, Calgary, Alberta
“How did you get these guys out here? They should be in Vegas!”

Questions

Common questions

How much stage space do you need?

Room for 6 people to stand side by side, and a spot for our rack. We bring our own microphones, in-ears and sound tech, so there is no drum kit, no amps and no risers to find. If a speaker fits on your stage, we fit too.

What does your AV team need to do?

Less than a band would ask for. Tell us what the venue has and we plan around it. Our tech rider goes out once the date is confirmed.

What kind of music do you sing?

Pop and R&B, from Boyz II Men and Take 6 to the songs on the radio this year, all arranged for 6 voices and nothing else.

Do you travel outside Edmonton?

We are based in Edmonton. Tell us where your event is when you get in touch and we will let you know.
