Barbershop is four part acapella singing with a unique twist to the harmony. The melody is  supported by the lower bass harmony but is further surrounded above and below by the tenor and baritone voices; the resulting sound is rich and vibrant with overtones adding to the musical  experience.

The style can be adapted to almost any tune, all it needs is a melody that is easy to harmonize and four men ready to sing. Other features in the barbershop style are the use of minor and seventh chords, repeated phrases and a rolling chord called a bell chords. These are used to add musical flavor to the tune complimenting the acapella experience of four part harmony.

You will hear Harmonium singing Swing,  love songs, Gospel and Hymns, even a  polka tune along with songs traditionally associated with Barbershop. Songs like Lida Rose, Wait  'Til the Sun Shines Nellie, Coney Island Baby and many other old favorites.
