about tempos
Shirley Tempos is Elon University's newest all-female a cappella group consisting of 12 talented girls who love to sing and spend time together! When Tempos aren't goofing around at rehearsal, recording in the studio, or performing at their end-of-semester concerts, they perform regularly at gigs on and off campus. Despite being a relatively young group, they have performed at Carnegie Hall in NYC as well as competed in 2018's ICCAs competition in Athens, Georgia. ​​​
​​In August of 2020, Shirley Tempos released their first ever album, "Still Rising", with songs ranging from Still Feel by Half Alive, Watch by Billie Eilish, Blame it on the Boogie by Michael Jackson, and more!
In the Spring of 2024, Shirley Tempos released their newest album, Catalyst, featuring covers of Conan Gray, ABBA, Adele, and more.
​In Fall 2016, the Tempos hosted the first ever Acapocalypse -- a concert benefiting the Ronald McDonald House of Chapel Hill. The second Acapocalypse was held in fall of 2017 and benefitted Camp Sunshine, a camp which provides hope and support for children with life threatening illnesses. Our third annual Acapocalypse was held in fall of 2018 and benefitted Elon Academy. In 2019, 2021, and 2022 our Acapocalypse also benefitted Elon Academy. Our next Acapocalypse is October 5th, and we hope to see you there!
