On Cape Cod this summer, Bailey Reese and Aiden Courtney have been performing with Hyannis Sound, an a ca****la group celebrated for its exceptional musicianship and camaraderie.

Aiden is the Social Media Manager, and Bailey is the Operations Manager who also serves as Music Director of IU’s all-male a ca****la group, Another Round.

Bailey shares: “Performing with the Hyannis Sound has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I’ve sang for sold-out audiences, managed financials for our small business, and made so many unforgettable memories. The members are not only some of the best young singers in the industry, but some of the best people I know. They have become more than friends—they now feel like family. This experience has fueled my passion for making music, and I’m eager to bring that energy into my career.”

What a summer for these two Hoosiers! 🌊🎶
