Realtime - Four Brothers

Alberta, BC (Canada)-based RealTime is an a cappella vocal group that sings and performs in a wide variety of vocal music, from Contemporary to Barbershop and everything in between. Their biggest thrill in their first year, 2004, was the enormous standing ovation they got at the 2004 International contest in Louisville, KY from 8.000 crazy barbershop fans, where they were thrilled and honored to be named finalists in their debut contest appearance. Their second biggest was getting into the studio to record "Four Brothers," their best stuff from their first year. 13 tunes: Barbershop tunes "When the Saints Go Marchin' In," "Come Fly With Me," "I've Got A Gal in Kalamazoo," "The Birth of the Blues," "All of Me," "Yesterday I Heard the Rain," "Keep Your Sunny Side Up," and "Everything's Coming Up Roses." The jazzy title tune, the jazz standard "It Was A Very Good Year," and the ballads "Loch Lomond" and "Anthem" round out the finely-crafted program. "Four Brothers" has the beautiful arrangements, tight harmonies and sheer great entertainment that are making RealTime one of the fastest-rising groups in the Barbershop world. 5673 CD 14.98
