About
In the spring of 1949, a group of MIT students came together to form the Logarhythms, the very first a cappella group at MIT. Building upon the influence of barbershop tunes, the Logs quickly became a major musical force at MIT and the surrounding community.
In the late 1990s, the Logs made the transition from barbershop to modern a cappella by introducing vocal percussion and complex arrangements of modern songs. The Logs began performing in the greater Boston area and then launched tours around the country and world, reaching as far as London, California, Texas, Ohio, New York, Florida, Louisiana, and all over New England.
In 2019, the Logs celebrated their 70th anniversary as one of the country’s finest a cappella groups. Their tremendous success is attributed to their inimitable alumni, who have shaped this group into what it is today. The active members look to carry on their tradition of excellence.

Reunions and Gatherings
In October of 2019, over 100 Logs, both active members and alumni, gathered at MIT to celebrate the group’s 70th anniversary. The event brought Logs from across generations together to share old stories and create new memories. Stay tuned for updates about the 75th anniversary!

The active group travels, records music, and puts on the largest MIT student events on campus. Unfortunately, the money the Logs make from gigs is not normally enough to cover all of those expenses.
