FEATURED GUEST QUARTETS

Vintage Mix and Newfangled Four
	We are Vintage Mix located in the Milwaukee area. Our genre of music includes the Standards, Hymns, Show Tunes and Barbershop in addition to a mix of music in between. It is our hope and desire to bring back a focus on harmony and the great music of the past. Our musical journey started with "The Sound of Music" sung at a local talent show. It was then and there that we realized that there was something special in the mix. We have continued to sing together and pursue opportunities to sing together as they become available.We have a unique affinity in that we are quadruplets. That's the "Q" in QVintageMix. We all enjoy the same music and blend harmony together as only siblings can. Please check out our video(s) available on YouTube (QVintageMix) or sign up for our mailing list to keep up with what Vintage Mix is doing. The Newfangled Four is a barbershop quartet based in sunny Southern California. Formed over two years ago, this foursome quickly bonded through their involvements with the Westminster Chorus and Masters of Harmony, two well-renowned choruses in the Barbershop Harmony Society. Each with their own levels of musical and barbershop experience, it didn't take long for this quartet to start building a repertoire of challenging, yet exciting arrangements. The quartet was fortunate enough to become the 2013 International Collegiate Barbershop Quartet Champions and the 2013 Far Western District Quartet Champions. In 2014, they received the Dealer's Choice Award for being the highest scoring debut quartet of the year, and in July 2015, placed 14th in the International Quartet Contest. These guys are always looking to entertain audiences of all kinds. They have entertained in venues as large as Basketball Arenas and as small as private birthday parties and they are constantly striving to be the next best thing!

Gary, who is also the Director of the Men of Independence, was the first person to win a collegiate gold medal and go on to win SPEBSQSA International gold. He is also the only tenor/baritone double gold medalist. Chris Vaughn (lead) won international gold as a member of Gotcha in the SPEBSQSA 2004 competition in Louisville, Kentucky.
