BLEND is the a cappella doo-wop group bringing back hits from the 50’s and 60’s with a twist of fun! They make very clear in their frivolous act that they love what they do.  Blend was formed at John A. Logan College as a minor project that quickly blossomed into the makings of a successful career for its four members. “We started in 2005 for a talent show and ended up winning it.
