A cappella idols Pentatonix come to Shoreline with Kelly Clarkson

By Karla Kane

n 2002, 10-year-old Kirstin Maldonado watched a fellow ITexan named Kelly Clarkson make reality-television history as the first winner of the singing competition, “American Idol.” “I grew up 15 minutes away from her,” Maldonado said of the woman who would become a pop superstar and one of Mal- donado’s childhood role models. Nearly a decade later, as part of the a cappella group Pentatonix, Maldonado herself was crowned the winner of “The Sing-Off,” another TV vocal contest. This summer, Clarkson and Pentato- nix, along with singer-songwriter Eric Hutchinson, have teamed up on a national tour that includes a stop at Mountain View’s Shoreline Amphitheatre on Sunday, Aug. 23. Though they gained fame from TV exposure, Pentatonix are no manufactured act. Maldonado grew up with bandmates Scott Hoying and Mitch Grassi; they all sang together at Martin High School in Arlington, Texas. They went their separate ways in college, with Maldonado earning a full scholarship to study musical theater at the University of Okla- homa. But Hoying called upon Maldonado and Grassi to reform the group in 2011, along with two new members to round out the low-end sound: bass vocalist JIRO SCHNEIDER Avi Kaplan and beat boxer/cellist A cappella band Pentatonix will perform at Mountain View’s Shoreline Amphitheatre on Sunday, Aug. 23.
