Sterling

Review: First formed in 1995, Houston, TX-based Sterling, performs an exciting repertoire of up-tunes, swing tunes, ballads and gospel music. The young, energetic foursome won the1996 SPEBSQSA Southwestern District Novice Quartet Championship, 1996 Buckeye Invitational, SPEBSQSA Southwest Division Quartet Championship and is the current 2002 SPEBSQSA Southwestern District Quartet Champion as well as current SPEBSQSA Quartet Semifinalists. So as expected on 'Saturday Night' we find a lot of strong, sweet barbershop: the live 'Eyes Medley,' 'Old St. Louie,' 'Hard Hearted Hannah,' 'Sentimental Gentleman,' 'Firefly,' the romantic ballad 'Holly Enters My Mind,' 'Bidin' My Time,' and 'Where The Southern Roses Grow' and others. A handful of nicely-done Gospel tunes may be the group's forte: 'No More Sorrow,' 'When I Lift Up My Head,' a 'Gospel Medley' and 'Stand Up, Stand Up For Jesus.' 14 songs total--an impressive first recording from a rising talent in the Barbershop world!

Songlist: Eyes Medley (live), No More Sorrow, Holly Enters My Mind, Old St. Louie, When I Lift Up My Head, Sentimental Gentleman, Lullaby for Hannah, Goody Goody, Hard Hearted Hannah, Gospel Medley, Where the Southern Roses Grow, Firefly, Bidin' My Time, Stand Up, Stand Up for Jesus
