NEW SHIRTS AVAILABLE FOR PREORDER NOW, LINK IN COMMENTS. Wow! This design comes to us from our friend Haley Cole, who cast a quartet of Maryland's beloved blue crabs trying their best and mostly doing great. We're so thrilled to share these with you. Preorders will ship by the end of October.

As a thank you for preordering this brand new shirt, we will send you a postcard! The front of the postcard will feature the blue crab design, and we'll handwrite you a little note on the back. We'll start mailing postcards the week of Oct. 19.

Your support makes possible all of the many exciting things we have in store. Preorder one or five at the link below. We love you. xoxo

Wow! Don't risk how you may feel if you miss this show at Midwinter. It would probably be "bad." Come to Virginia Beach in February, or else you will feel bad, is what we're saying. We like you and want you to feel good, not bad. In the meantime, we will start stocking up on glitter. xoxo

Happy (actual) Friday everyone, have we got some fantastic news for you: our friends AND yours, popular Mid-Atlantic District Barbershop quartets Smoke Ring and Secret Best Friends are both booked for Virginia Beach! This is very exciting, as both quartets have agreed that if we can sell out Midwinter, *they will exchange quartet repertoires and attire for the duration of their sets.

Register today, folks! Let's make some magic happen. Head over to barbershop.org/midwinter and be sure you lock in your seat for one of the most exciting Midwinters we've lined up to date.

(*neither quartet has agreed to this. Yet.)

Wow! We haven’t been very active online lately, which is to say we’ve been enjoying a relatively light season after an ultra-busy spring and summer. Still, we’ve been hard at work on some new music, we’ve brainstormed and daydreamed A LOT about new music yet to come, and most importantly: we went bowling. Much to share soon. Until then. xoxo

WOW. We are home from an exhausting, exhilarating, life-altering and soul-nourishing week at the BHS international convention. We are of course elated to have earned 7th place in the quartet contest, and for that achievement we have our arrangers, coaches and vast support system to thank. We love you all.

Even though we try not to take it for granted in the moment, only upon reflection in the post-event haze do we fully appreciate just how much we get to broaden our own horizons during these conventions. This year, we laughed and sang with folks from four continents. One particular highlight was talking and singing with the remarkable and lovely quartet F.F.【Barbershop quartet】 from Japan. Thanks to them for the photo and the memories.

And finally: To have been backstage for the moments when our friends and heroes in GQ were named champions will forever remain among the greatest gifts we've stumbled into so far in our quartet's time together.

We're already counting down until we see you in Minneapolis next summer, and there's much to come from these silly little barberboys in the weeks and months ahead. Until then. xoxo

WOW. We have qualified for the BHS international quartet finals for the third year in a row! We're so grateful for all of the support we’ve felt and seen here in St. Louis and from afar, and we are exceedingly proud of all of our friends who have shared their hearts and souls across the same stage these past few days. We’ll see all y'all Saturday night. In the meantime, please enjoy this tiny lil easter egg we snuck in to tonight's set as a nod to our biggest barbershop heroes and favorite quartet. xoxo

Repping some new stuff at soundcheck last weekend in Harrisburg, PA

16/06/2026

Wow! We had the great joy of traveling yesterday to Northeastern Pennsylvania to play (and sing) the role of a barbershop quartet in an upcoming feature film. Our scene was set in 1950, so of course we had great fun dressing the part and ringing some chords along the way. Many, many, many thanks to all of the wonderful professionals we've worked with on the project. We don't have any other details to share at this time, but we'll keep y'all updated when the film is announced and how you may be able to see it when the time comes. Until then. xoxo

Wow! Even when Melody isn’t able to be with us irl, we’re thrilled to spend a few hours coaching with her floating head over the internet. No illegal data centers were built in the process of singing our songs last night. We have performances in Pennsylvania each of the next two weekends! Come see us! Links to tickets in the comments. xoxo

We've got a bunch of performances coming up this month, but first: WOW! We're thrilled to announce we'll be spending April 1-4, 2027 as the guest quartet at the BIBA En Armonía Convention in Calpe, Spain. We can't wait to meet new friends and share our love of singing together with all y'all. Registrations are available now at the BIBA page. Get in there. Much more to share later. Until then. xoxo
