Discography

Ain't That A Kick

Come On Get Happy They Can't Take That Away From Me Heart of My Heart I'll Follow the Sun I'm a Believer Cry Me A River Come Fly With Me (live in SLC) Waltz for Debby Ain't That a Kick in the Head One Note Samba Midnight Serenade Come Back to Me We Never Really Say Goodbye

They won it all in 2005 when they were crowned International Barbershop Quartet Champions and are the only quartet in history who took top honors who are not all Americans. Based in Vancouver, Canada the quartet has an international flavor being comprised of 2 Canadians, one American and an Australian. And it's easy to see why they became champs as this fabulous new release is one of the best barbershop recordings we have heard to date. As it becoming more common in barbershop CDs not every track would be considered true barbershop by the purists yet the close harmonies and tight arrangements are most certainly in the barbershop style while other songs are straight ahead traditional gems. A realtime treat!
