Stanford Everyday People, popularly known as EP, is Stanford University's only Hip-Hop, R&B, Motown and Soul a cappella group.[1][2] The group is known for its tight, soulful sound and wearing all black.[3][4] It was founded in 1987 and has released ten studio albums to date.[5] EP has toured the United States, Jamaica and the Bahamas.[6]
History
Founded in 1987 by Stanford University juniors Larry Shorter and Tony Stovall, the group's name is a tribute to Sly and the Family Stone's vision of inclusiveness and acceptance of all races, genders, and creeds as well as their 1967 hit of the same title.[7][better source needed]
In 2017, EP performed with artists Wiz Khalifa and Ouyang Nana at the Breakthrough Prize awards ceremony.[8]
In addition to performing at campus and Bay Area events, EP has toured the United States, Jamaica and the Bahamas.[citation needed]
EP is an entirely student-run organization: the arrangements in its repertoire have all been arranged and transcribed by its own members, past and present.[citation needed] While EP generally performs with a group of 8-16 singers, graduating members always remain a part of the group.
