The Tidelanders perform ensemble-based a cappella barbershop music. Our chorus has performed in the Houston and surrounding area for over 75 years. Our sound is characterized by melodic overtones and ringing chords generated by our use of close harmonies.
We work hard to produce an entertaining barbershop music show. Patrick MacAlexander, our Director, with 22 years of barbershop experience has been working with the Tides to introduce new interpretations. Our patrons can look forward to new songs as well as revised interpretations of other songs we perform.
The Houston Tidelanders perform music found in a wide range of genres. Those genres range from religious songs to Broadway tunes and include rock & roll, patriotic, pop, and barbershop originals.
Tickets are available for purchase.
This performance is on Saturday, December 2, 2023. The Tidelanders will take the stage at 2:00 pm; the doors will open at 1:30 pm.
Ticket prices will be $20 for advance purchase and $25 the day of and at the door.
