Blue Jupiter is an a cappella pop-funk singing group.
Formed in late 2001, Blue Jupiter sings covers and renditions of songs. Most of their songs are a cappella, but sometimes acoustic instruments have small and light parts.
Biography
Blue Jupiter is a vocal band from New York City. Three of the members attended Berklee College of Music.

It also appeared in the Harmony Sweepstakes in Chicago, Washington, D.C., and New York City. Blue Jupiter has toured in Asia, from China to Japan.
