The Dubuque Music Men Barbershop Chorus will welcome The Newfangled Four as the headline quartet for their annual barbershop show. Diamonds Are Forever, And So Is Barbershop will be held at 3:00 PM Saturday, October 12, 2024, in John and Alice Butler Hall, Heritage Center, University of Dubuque.
The Dubuque Music Men Barbershop Chorus is the primary performing ensemble of the Dubuque chapter of the Barbershop Harmony Society. Established in 1949, the Dubuque chapter has been one of the tri-state area’s most active musical organizations. The current membership includes men ranging from teenager to senior and from experience performer to novice singer.
From Southern California, The Newfangled Four is one of the top barbershop quartets in the world, performing throughout the United States and internationally. Formed in fall 2012, this foursome quickly bonded through their involvements with the Westminster Chorus and Masters of Harmony, two well-renowned choruses in the Barbershop Harmony Society. Combining old fashion slapstick humor with their quirky offbeat comedy, The Newfangled Four merges their talents as top-notch harmony singers and world-class entertainers.
Over the years, The Newfangled Four has developed a reputation not only for their fine singing and showmanship, but also for their work and involvement in the youth movement as clinicians and educators, leading countless workshops for young singers in the U.S. They have appeared on Buzzfeed, Hallmark’s Home and Family, ABC’s The Gong Show, and the CW’s Christmas Carolers Challenge. The quartet has also recorded tracks for the Lifetime Movie Network.
