This Denver-based quartet has roots in the Denver A Cappella Project, and includes tenor George (of 1982 Gold Medal-winners Classic Collection), his son Mike, baritone, bass Mark and lead Ryan. At the 2007 Barbershop Harmony Society contest in Denver, Following the release of this, their debut recording, NeXus moved up from 27th place to 19th place in the elite top 20 in only their 3rd year of competition. We particularly appreciated the songlist in the liner notes, that included some of the group's influences: 'Just A Gigolo,' inspired by Classic Collection, 'The Dock of the Bay' and 'Stand By Me,' inspired by Rockapella, and 'Don't Worry Be Happy,' inspired by the Blenders. Other favorites are 'Orange Colored Sky,' 'Gospel Medley,' a bluesy 'Summertime,' 'Under the Boardwalk,' and 'Mean to Me.' Great stuff from this popular, fast-rising, veteran quartet!
