Welcome our newest member
of the group!

Voice Male is pleased to announce that after months of auditioning some of the finest talent in Utah, we have finally found someone crazy enough to give up some of his precious free time in order to hang out with us. Seriously though, we were very impressed with the amazing talent we saw during the auditioning process. Thanks to all who auditioned or encouraged others to audition.

We are very excited to introduce to you the newest member of Voice Male: Richard "Rick" Murdock (yup, that makes us Mike, Mike, John, John, and Richard, Richard). Rick is a solid baritone with a sophisticated wit. He is a great addition to our group, and we can't wait for you to meet him and for him to meet you. To learn more about him, click here. To read his account of a primary chorister's nightmare, click here.

We hope you will all come out to one of our Christmas shows and meet Rick for yourselves.

We are a 6-man contemporary
A Cappella Group.

Voice Male has been made up of six very different individuals who somehow found each other over 16 years ago. With the passing of Phil Kesler, they have decided to honor his wish that Voice Male continue on. John Luthy came up with the Voice Male concept while singing with some of the guys in the Logan LDS Institute Choir. Soon nine guys set out to sing at every event they could get their hands on. You might have recognized them from such events as Timmy's 3rd birthday party or the 4th ward Relief Society social. A year later, they lost three members and unfortunately, none of them were ever found. Over the years, they expanded their reach further and further, traveling to several states and to Mexico, performing over 120 songs for thousands of fans. They have been blessed to have many enriching opportunities to perform in great locations for great people. Considering this is not their day job, they are lucky to pull together and accomplish anything at this point. They all graduated into careers ranging from Computer Networking to Real Estate to Law. When they are not working or singing, they are enjoying time with their supportive wives and children. The latest tally: 23 children who like to call each other Voice Male Cousins. Who knows what is in store for the future of Voice Male. It doesn't really matter, because the past has been pretty great.

John Luthy

John provides the group's vocal percussion and sometimes sings bass. He is the bringer of normalcy when it comes to keeping the rest of the unbridled on-stage group in check. As the founding member of Voice Male, he has often taken on similar leadership roles. John graduated from the Law School at BYU and is teaching at the University of South Carolina. John, his wife, and their two children live in Camden, South Carolina. John cannot claim to have had any background in percussing with his mouth. That's not something you learn. It's a gift. His wife echoes that point as he percusses sweet nothings in her ear.

Mike Willson

Mike W. rounds out the Voice Male sound with his rich, carpet-like bass sound. He has also been known to throw out some subtly funny banter on stage. Mike, his wife, and 4 children live in Idaho Falls Idaho. Mike graduated with a degree in Computer Science and currently works for the advanced team at Juniper Networks doing networky stuff that no one in the group but Mike understands. Mike has a musical background blowing horns (trumpet) all through High School and College. Most notably and unrelated, he has played a game of one-on-one basketball with Shawn Bradley. He did not win.

Richard McAllister

Richard spends his time singing in the rafters. He sings the high tenor part and supplies audiences with a surprisingly endearing sense of humor. Richard, his wife Jenny, and their 4 children live in Lehi, Utah, where Richard is a commercial real estate agent. He is also key in making sure the business of Voice Male is running smoothly. Richard has a musical background in singing to his sheep on the ranch. He has since forgotten the lyrics. Where's Richard? Right where he should be.

Mike Bearden

Mike, his wife, and four children live in Riverton, Utah. Mike graduated with an MBA and currently works for American Express in Strategic Planning. He began singing in Choirs in the 7th grade where he learned to sing very high. Later on he achieved the highly coveted role of President of the High School Madrigals until he was impeached. He sings primarily tenor, but can be found making other percussive and animal noises to help enrich listeners' experience. He has also taken on the role of writing, arranging, and producing much of what Voice Male records.

John Huff

John has a remarkably versatile voice providing much of the bonus material in shows. He has an impeccable ability to mimic animals and foreign accents. He also sings tenor. He and his wife live in quiet Honeyville, Utah along with their 4 children. They can often be found taking care of goats and chickens. This just provides more inspiration to John in expanding his animal sound repertoire. John received his MBA from BYU and currently works as a product manager for the LDS Church History Department developing new and vital family history programs. John's musical background includes blowing a horn for The Blue Knights bugle corps.

Rick Murdock

Yes, Rick is short for Richard, and yes, if you say any one of our names two of us will respond. A member of the group since August 2011, Rick is feverishly learning the baritone parts of the Voice Male repertoire. He's also trying to get caught up on nearly 20 years of institutional memory (we're not sure we want him digging into this). Rick lives in the Salt Lake Valley with his wife and four children. He graduated with an MPA from BYU and now works as a leadership trainer. His musical background includes sneezing at the worst possible time while performing in a choral concert.

Voice Male is a six-man contemperary A Cappella Group that began 16 years ago. They are praised by people throughout the world as guys who do "good, wholesome music."
