What are Barbershop Singing Quartets
An ensemble that sings four part harmony in the a cappella (unaccompanied) barbershop style of music. Like a Barbershop chorus, they are comprised of the Tenor, Lead, Baritone, and Bass parts. These groups of 4 part harmonies go back in history to the 19th century and were particularly inspired by African American performers of the time. They used jazz, ragtime, and musical features like slides that are still used in the hobby today. They can be serious or considered a comedy ensemble. Many comedy ensembles focus on performing parodies, jokes, and other forms of entertainment.
