About Wide Variety
Delivering over 30 years of harmony, fun, and friendship
We were founded as the vocal group Special Delivery in July, 1993, in Paramus, NJ. We released two CDs, opened for many classic groups from the 50s and 60s, won UGHA's Acapella Group of the Year, sang at hundreds of venues and made hundreds of friends.
With the passage of time we re-branded as Wide Variety. Some members have moved on, others have come on board, a couple even re-joined. Through the years we remain dedicated to vocal excellence, to classic oldies, and to our many friends. We are happy to count you among them!

With Appreciation to our Alumni
Back in 1993, we never would have dreamed that our musical partnership would have endured this long, or have meant so much to so many. It is with gratitude that we note those who have sung with us over the years:
Michael Barchetto, Jeff Block, Jim Espaillat, and Jimmy Mastrull
Thanks, guys. Hope you are singing and smiling.
