Thursday, December 14
6:30 p.m. - 7:30 p.m.
For all ages!
Join us for a special Holiday MasterWorks in Library Program Room North/South. Our special guest will be Vintage Quartet! Vintage, an a cappella quartet singing in the barbershop style, was established in January 2022. While Vintage may be a relatively young quartet, its members: Gary, Clarence, Mike, and Jim are anything but newcomers, racking up over 80 years of quartet experience between them.
Mike and Clarence have sung together in previous quartets, as have Gary and Jim, and now they?ve brought their four voices together to create their own unique blend. Their repertoire is a mix of 50s and 60s standards, doo-wop, other popular tunes, gospel and inspirational numbers, seasonal favorites, and of course, vintage barbershop songs.
