The G-Men, founded in 1995, is an all-male a cappella group at the University of Michigan. Throughout our 25 years of history, we have performed for President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama, sang the national anthem for the Detroit Pistons and Tigers, competed in 4 ICCA Finals and entertained audiences throughout the Ann Arbor community, the state of Michigan and around the country. The group is comprised of students from a variety of majors and is proud to have a network of over 100 alumni who have succeeded in many fields. Our repertoire consists of a wide variety of songs, ranging from 80s hits to today’s top 40. Outside of rehearsal and performances, you can catch us playing pickup basketball, working on programming assignments or playing intense games of Smash.
