A Barber Shop Quartet is a vocal ensemble consisting of four singers, typically male, who perform a cappella music in the barber shop style. The group harmonizes and sings in close four-part harmony, with the lead, tenor, baritone, and bass voices creating a unique and rich sound. Barber Shop Quartets were particularly popular in the early 20th century and often performed in barbershops, hence their name. They are known for their tight harmonies, intricate arrangements, and often incorporate elements of humor and storytelling into their performances. |
