Their smoky R&B songs and a passionate, crowdpleasing delivery have propelled them to the pinnacle of a cappella singing, capturing the 2019 International Quartet Championship of the Barbershop Harmony Society following two second places and a fourth in 2018, 2017 and 2016.
Quartets can win the International Championship only once, though up to two members may appear together in another quartet and compete again.
We’re looking forward to hosting the quartet, which is known for singing a funky and soulful range of songs including the Creedence Clearwater Revival classic “Proud Mary,” Aretha Franklin’s “Think” and a heart wrenching rendition of “Dance with My Father” by Luther Vandross.
Be sure not to miss them – and make sure everyone you know is ready to get tickets for the show.
