Living Out Loud

Living Out Loud is a 20-voice a cappella vocal and percussion group with a special sound that reflects our 12-year history of singing together. We are based in Clifton Hill, Melbourne.

Living Out Loud has been fortunate enough to have the doyennes of Australian a cappella music directing them. Currently directed by Sue Johnson of Coco’s Lunch, the group was established by Tracey Miller and worked for 8 years with the inspirational Melanie Shanahan.

Living Out Loud’s repertoire reflects life's journey and all that it encompasses.  Their songs, mostly locally written and arranged are contemporary, spiritual, and earthy, reflecting life's journey and all that it encompasses. Many of the songs, featuring words by local authors Meme McDonald, Elizabeth Honey and Rosalind Price, are about a sense of place and connecting to the elements, the landscape around us, and to each other.  We are joyful, uplifting, and inspiring.  We endeavor to make a positive contribution to our community through music and song.

“An ever evolving group with a great sense of joy in their music” Colin Davison    CD Review, Oral Majority   June 2001

“The performance was very moving - 'organic' and natural. The arrangements were beautiful and the choice of material was great. Edinburgh Festival would love you!”  The Proclaimers March 2002
 
“The harmony and music was great but it is also the feeling and emotion that you convey in your singing that lifts the audience to an extra level of appreciation.”  Jeffrey Woolhouse, Surrey Hills Music Café 2007

“Living Out Loud sing with conviction and passion”  Roger King, Boite
