Harmony, Inc Area 2 Quartets

After Hours was born in February 2000 with four members of varying experience and expertise from Montreal Chapter. Since then, they have had the honour and privilege of representing Harmony, Inc. and their choruses on many shows throughout Canada and the United States, including a performance on the World Harmony Jamboree in Montreal during the 2003 men’s Barbershop Harmony Society convention.

Members of After Hours include Maria Gabriella (lead), Morgan Lacroix (tenor), Stacy Hugman-Frenette (baritone), and Lindsay Chartier (bass).

Synchronicity was formed in June 2002 with the intention of making beautiful music, entertaining audiences, and having a great time doing both! They are delighted to have experienced the ultimate reward – winning their gold medals and crowns at the 2004 Harmony, Inc. International Quartet Competition! They have performed for audiences both large and small, and young and old. Synchronicity looks forward to many more opportunities to spread their joy of singing in the coming year through barbershop shows and youth barbershop festivals.

Members of Synchronicity include Kathleen Macdonald (lead), Liane Iannuzzo (tenor), Debbie Dodge (baritone) and Jeanne Crowell (bass).

How fitting the name Showcase is for this foursome! They love to sing, to show their best to audiences, and to present special events (songs) in order to tug on the heartstrings of their listeners.

Showcase started singing together in March 2007 and just two and a half years later became the 2009 International Championship Quartet of Harmony, Inc. All are members of the international medalist chorus, New England Voices in Harmony from Nashua, New Hampshire. In 2012 they produced their first CD “Birds Gotta Fly” which was nominated for two A Cappella Recording Awards (Best Barbershop Album and Best Barbershop Song – If I Had My Way.) In 2013 they placed 2nd in the Boston Harmony Sweepstakes and enjoy performing throughout the US and Canada. Showcase would be delighted to perform on your next show or function. They offer a variety of songs, fun, and most importantly, a true Showcase experience that you will not soon forget!

Members of Showcase include Kathleen Macdonald (lead), Katrine Dickau (tenor),  Samantha Tramack (baritone), and Renée Tramack (bass). [Original Baritone: Debbie Dodge (2007-2010) and Kari-Lynn Knight (2011-2015)]

Foreign Exchange is always willing and eager to perform in front of an audience! Please consider hiring us for your next event. We have songs appropriate for weddings, birthdays, and even divorces! ;-)

 

Much in life can be easily taken for granted. The beauty of the sunrise, the food on our tables, and the love within our families. Sometimes the greatest blessings in our lives have been invisible to us, and yet right under our noses the whole time. The members of Taken 4 Granite know that sisters, mothers, daughters, friends, and God-given gifts can easily be under-appreciated and overlooked. In the autumn of 2013, the quartet seized the opportunity to come together– sisters, mother, and friend when Christina came back to live at home after being away at college, and prior to Samantha going away to college– to NOT take each other or the music they can create for granted.

We are Dark Harmony - a quirky barbershop quartet with a touch of gothic allure. Our music blends melancholy and mystery, with a hint of light and fun! Join us as our dark harmonies linger, leaving smiles in their wake.

Our quartet and friendships began with a single tag – the last few bars of a barbershop song containing juicy, satisfying chords – sung during a shared dinner at a barbershop convention in Verona, New York, and we haven’t looked back since. The four of us now enjoy a repertoire full of fun and often lovey-dovey songs that tend to make folks smile. We've been delighted to perform at the Nashua Holiday Stroll, a variety of senior living communities in the New Hampshire and Massachusetts, the Alton Bay and Meredith Bay Barbershop Harmony Jamborees, and multiple private parties. 

Our proudest and most emotional moment to date was when an auditorium filled with long-time barbershoppers rose to their feet after we sang the Four Statemen’s version of The Story of the Three Bells. Yes, we cried.

David & Joyce and Kim & Gil are a testament to the fact that the best gift in life, and in love, is a second chance ...  or, in this case, a Second Chants. 

Sweet & Sour formed in 2015 with one goal in mind: to compete as a family quartet in the Northeastern District Mixed Quartet Contest. Since then, they have competed in numerous Harmony, Inc. and Barbershop Harmony Society contests under the Mixed Barbershop Harmony Association. Christina (tenor), Samantha (lead), and Joshua (bass) Tramack are siblings, and found their baritone in Samantha's spouse, Mert Tramack! Thanks to the Everyone in Harmony initiative brought forth by the Barbershop Harmony Society, Sweet & Sour has had the honor of becoming the 2022 Northeastern District Quartet Champions, becoming the first mixed quartet to do so in the district’s history. In 2023 and 2024, they became international semifinalists at the Barbershop Harmony Society’s international competition. Since forming, Sweet & Sour has had the privilege to entertain countless audiences with their unique brand of barbershop and a cappella singing. Their repertoire includes genres such as jazz, country, musical theater, rock and roll, and just about everything in between. They often get asked who’s sweet and who’s sour, and the answer is simple:  That’s for you to decide!
