They have received standing ovations in performances from Nova Scotia to California, Florida to Montreal, Salt Lake City to London, and dozens of other locations. Based in the Greater Providence area since 1949, they continue their goal of bringing a cappella music in the barbershop style to audiences of all ages. Over recent years they have helped raise more than a half million dollars for local charities and non-profits.
