Lake Shore Jive through the years has been one of Chicago’s premier coed a cappella groups. The men and women of LSJ have included attorneys, bankers, actors, teachers, creative directors, computer programmers, consultants, musicians, marketers, entrepreneurs, doctors, nurse practitioners and ninjas! Despite our diverse careers and backgrounds, we find common ground in our love of singing.

Spring Sing & AACA

We are very blessed to be a member of the American A Cappella Alliance (AACA), a 68-yr-loved organization celebrating a cappella. Every May since 1997 (Covid interruption being the only exception!), LSJ has joined our long-time friends & partner groups for a fabulous weekend of great a cappella & good times. We look forward to getting back together in Cape Cod next year, to sing and catch up! For more info, visit springsing.org

Spring Sing 2017, Evanston, IL

LSJ enjoyed hosting the AACA's Spring Sing's 60th Anniversary. Over 180 singers joined us up in Evanston for the weekend, and we had a blast performing with everyone for the warmest, most appreciative audience ever.

Spring Sing 2016, Washington, DC

For Spring Sing in DC we had the great opportunity to perform a live broadcast at the National Museum of the American Indian and at the lovely US Botanic Gardens.
