Bluegrass Student Union

Bluegrass Student Union

Lead: Ken Hatton. Tenor: Allen Hatton. Baritone: Dan Burgess. Bass: Rick Staab.

Bluegrass Student Union is the Louisville, Kentucky barbershop quartet who won the 1978 SPEBSQSA International competition. They distinguished themselves by performing at a high level of proficiency on stage and in the recording studio throughout their 33-year career, and by continually improving their art, even after winning their gold medals. They credit much of their success to their coaches, Mary Jo Hatton Thompson, Don Clause, Ron Riegler, Gene Stickler and Ed Weber, to their chorus Director, Jim Miller, and to their long-time arrangers, Ed Waesche and Walter Latzko.

Greg Blackwell : The Auctioneer

Leroy Van Dyke wrote The Auctioneer after his real-life experiences as an auctioneer, and the Bluegrass Student Union quartet made it famous in barbershop circles with this rendition. Known for its break-neck fast auctioneer lingo throughout, this song is at its heart a driving country song. Fun and fast-paced, you'll wow audiences with this is your repertoire.
