Barbershop Quartets

A barbershop quartet is a type of vocal group consisting of four singers who harmonize together in a distinctive style known as "barbershop harmony." This style involves four-part a cappella arrangements where each voice has a specific role: lead, tenor, baritone, and bass. Barbershop quartets originated in the late 19th century and gained popularity in the early 20th century. They typically sing songs from the American popular music repertoire, often characterized by close harmonies, ringing chords, and sentimental lyrics. more »
