Tenor: Fred Farrell Lead: Mike Slamka Baritone: Brandon Guyton Bass: Jim Henry
Crossroads is the new 'superquartet' on the Barbershop Block, formed of four singers who are former BHS International Gold medalists in their own right, tenor Fred Farrell, lead Mike Slamka, bass Jim Henry and baritone Brandon Guyton. Henry won Gold in 1993 as a founding member and arranger of the legendary Gas House Gang, and is currently musical and artistic director of the 160-voice Ambassadors of Harmony. Guyton pocketed Gold in 2002 with Four Voices, Slamka sang his way to Gold with 2003 champs Power Play, and Farrell wore Gold with 1989 Quartet champs Second Edition. With this much vocal and arranging talent and experience, it came as no great surprise that newly-formed Crossroads struck Gold again in Anaheim, CA in 2009! Their new CD just arrived in our hands hot off the presses: 12 tunes plus a bonus track, 'Lydia.' 'You Don't! You Won't!,' 'Georgia May,' Roy Orbison's 'Crying,' the nostalgic 'Little Patch of Heaven' and 'Daddy's Little Girl,' Ęthe Simon & Garfunkel anthem '59th Street Bridge Song' (Feelin' Groovy), the upbeat 'Back In Business,' 'Roll, Jordan, Roll,' 'Mean To Me,' 'Mobile,' 'Better Than I' and 'Country Dances' all feature butter-smooth harmonies, sweet leads, ringing, effortless held chords, deep bass parts, perfect arrangements and the shear joy of singing of these four new/old champions. Listen to 'Crossroads,' officially, and actually, Barbershop's best! Listen to Back in Business in RealAudio. |
