The Amalgamates are a coed collegiate a cappella group at Tufts University in Medford, MA. With members from all over the United States and the world, the "Mates" have a tradition of musical excellence represented by both the current singers and a network of over 170 alumni worldwide. The Mates arrange and learn a new repertoire of rock, pop, R&B, alternative, and jazz covers every semester, performing at Tufts as well as other universities, local secondary schools and at private functions around New England throughout the school year. Each year, the Mates travel within the US or abroad on a Spring Break tour, performing at various venues including colleges, high schools and a cappella festivals.
