The Spokes

Can't read my SPOKErface?

The Spokes were created in January of 2004 when two former members of the coed a cappella group the Liquid Hotplates decided the time had come for an all-women’s group at UC Davis. Co-founders Camaron and Jaclyn posted many fliers in order to find the most entertaining, cute, and fun-lovin’ bunch of girls in Davis. After several rounds of auditions there were eight Spokes, each one dedicated to creating a beautiful sound and having tons of fun. They practiced in the beautiful and brand-new music room of the Infill dorms, and relied equally on the acoustics of Andrea’s apartment. Just as a bicycle wheel cannot spin without the strength of all its spokes, the all-women, all-fabulous a cappella group The Spokes depends on all its great girls.

The Spokes set out to entertain the masses with their unique aura of pink and black. Though they’ve only been together since January 2004, they have already captivated many ears in the Davis community and beyond. With their combination of good tunes, great charisma, and excellent choreography, they make fans wherever they go. They have traveled to the Bay Area, to Los Angeles, to Santa Cruz, to Santa Barbara, and beyond. Their lifetime goals include learning new songs, making new friends, and performing all over the world.

The Spokes hold annual concerts, including "Hella Cappella: An A Cappella Festival in True Nor-Cal Style" in the Winter, and "Local Tones" in the Spring. This year, The Spokes are doing a year long commitment to a charity, Daraja Academy.
