Why is this called the "Barbershop Style?"

Easy—we sing four-part consonant (as opposed to dissonant) a cappella harmony with lots of seventh chords.

Performances featuring barbershop harmony with comedy were mainstays during Vaudeville days.

Vaudeville days!? Weren’t they like 80 years ago, dude? Well, yes—but happy, humorous well-paced entertainment and enduring popular songs have great appeal for any generation. In fact, there’s a barbershop singing resurgence going on! The Asheville Chapter along with the many other Barbershop Harmony Society chapters is growing!
