For Heaven’s Sake first performed on their chapter show in 1994 and went on to win the Harmony, Inc. International Quartet Contest in Saint John, New Brunswick in 1996. They represented Harmony, Inc. at the World Harmony Jamboree in Anaheim, California in July 1999 and were selected to perform at the first-ever Sing 2001! A Cappella Celebration held in Nashville, TN. They have produced four CDs – “What A Wonderful World” (nominated for a 1998 Contemporary A Cappella Recording Award (CARA) for Best Barbershop Album and Best Barbershop Song), “Now and Again”, “I Wish You Love” (nominated for 2009 Best Barbershop Song) and “Let’s Live It Up”. The foursome was blessed to be presented with the Image of Harmony Award twice - once with Laurie in 2000 and again in 2014 with Lynn.

For Heaven's Sake was instrumental in the creation of Lakeside A Cappella Camp, a summer youth camp located in Central New York, and served for several years on staff. They also served as clinicians at other a cappella camps and always love working with our future barbershoppers!

Members of For Heaven’s Sake include Lynn Blakeney (lead), Lorie Autote (tenor), Mary Ann Wert (baritone), and Katie Taylor (bass). Their original lead, Laurie (Shepherd) O’Donnell retired from the quartet in July 2012.

They regularly serve on the faculty of the Harmony, Inc. international educational school (Harmony Intensive Training School).

Members of Change of Heart include Janet Foster (tenor), Sara Stone (lead), Susan Spencer (baritone), and Beverly Miller (bass) who joined the quartet in 2003.

Synchronicity was formed in June 2002 with the intention of making beautiful music, entertaining audiences, and having a great time doing both! They are delighted to have experienced the ultimate reward – winning their gold medals and crowns at the 2004 Harmony, Inc. International Quartet Competition! They have performed for audiences both large and small, and young and old. Synchronicity looks forward to many more opportunities to spread their joy of singing in the coming year through barbershop shows and youth barbershop festivals.

Members of Synchronicity include Kathleen Macdonald (lead), Liane Iannuzzo (tenor), Debbie Dodge (baritone) and Jeanne Crowell (bass).

How fitting the name Showcase is for this foursome! They love to sing, to show their best to audiences, and to present special events (songs) in order to tug on the heartstrings of their listeners.

Showcase started singing together in March 2007 and just two and a half years later became the 2009 International Championship Quartet of Harmony, Inc. All are members of the international medalist chorus, New England Voices in Harmony from Nashua, New Hampshire. In 2012 they produced their first CD “Birds Gotta Fly” which was nominated for two A Cappella Recording Awards (Best Barbershop Album and Best Barbershop Song – If I Had My Way.) In 2013 they placed 2nd in the Boston Harmony Sweepstakes and enjoy performing throughout the US and Canada. Showcase would be delighted to perform on your next show or function. They offer a variety of songs, fun, and most importantly, a true Showcase experience that you will not soon forget!

Members of Showcase include Kathleen Macdonald (lead), Katrine Dickau (tenor),  Samantha Tramack (baritone), and Renée Tramack (bass). [Original Baritone: Debbie Dodge (2007-2010) and Kari-Lynn Knight (2011-2015)]

Ringtones!, a young, vibrant barbershop quartet hailing from both sides of the border, formed on New Years Eve 2005. They came together with varying degrees of barbershop experience, from having never sung in a quartet before to having sung several times on the International Stage. Tenor-Samantha Arten (Swanson), Lead-Jennifer Wheaton, Baritone-Julia Borsari, and Bass-Lindsay Chartier are thrilled to represent Harmony, Inc, as your 2010 Harmony Queens!

Epic is proudly and humbly affiliated with Harmony, Inc., an epic sisterhood that aims to “empower all women through education, friendship, and a cappella singing in the barbershop style.”

We started making some Epic noise in early 2011 when Chris and Kris started digging around for singers with a different first name. We found Anne, who is sufficiently loud. And we found Shana, who is, indeed, a former Miss Maryland.

We like Epic shoes, Epic tags, and Epic rehearsals.

Spot On has been together since February of 2013 and we have had one heck of a journey since we formed. We joined Harmony Incorporated and met the wonderful women of Area 4 in June of 2013, where we received the title of Area 4 Champions. In November of that year, we traveled to Windsor, Ontario where we earned first place in the International contest, awarding us the title of 2013 Harmony Incorporated Harmony Queens! Our championship year was incredible; we met new people, learned new songs, and enjoyed the busiest week of our lives in Louisville, KY November 2014 where we received our permanent crowns.

Spot On loves to work hard and prepare for contest, but above all things, we are each others' best friends. Our hobbies include: quoting Mean Girls and Gilmore Girls, eating HuHot Mongolian Grill, dressing up in crazy costumes for themed New Year's Eve parties, sending memes to each other through our quartet text thread, buying/wearing things with polka dots ("spots") on them, and making each other laugh. It's true when they say that your quartet isn't just your quartet, but it's also your family. Our families mean the world to us, and we try to all be together as often as possible. With each family being made up of two parents, a brother, and a sister, we sure do have a lot in common! Our parents all met each other through barbershop, we are all "barbershop brats", and the two married ladies met their husbands at barbershop-related events. To say that we owe our lives to barbershop would be an understatement. And what better way to spend time with our friends and families than to ring a good old barbershop chord.

Moonstruck’s music is a lively and unforgettable blend of heart, soul, and FUN! The quartet pours soulfulness and infectious energy into beloved blues, jazz, and swing standards as well as well-known show tunes, sassy pop songs, poignant ballads, and holiday music.

In November 2014, Moonstruck won Harmony, Incorporated’s international quartet contest, earning the title of Harmony Queens. Click here to hear Moonstruck perform a loving tribute to loved ones lost with the beautiful ballad, Loch Lomond.

LiveWire was born in January of 2015 when Lorie, Lynn, and Katie were looking to branch out and try new voice parts. They asked Jessi to sing bass with them and she said yes! After 10 months of learning music in a long-distance quartet, they pulled off an unexpected win at their International convention and became the 2015 Queens of Harmony Incorporated!

Lynn Blakeney (TENOR) is happily married to Jim and has a grown son Joshua. Her passion is coaching quartets and choruses and encouraging singers to be the best they can be.  Lynn is a certified judge in the Performance Category in Harmony Inc.

Katie Taylor (LEAD) is married to Ricky,  and they have two sons Gavin and Zachary. Katie is a K-12 Music Teacher at Alexandria Central School. She enjoys directing musicals, coaching choruses and quartets, and giving private voice lessons.

Jessi Nasto (BASS) married Tony just last year, and together they are raising her beautiful daughter Nova with another one on the way! Jessi works as a property manager in Ithaca, NY. She and Tony are also excited to start up a mixed chorus in the Ithaca area very soon.

Lorie Autote (BARI) is a wife to Chris and mom to sons Drew and Evan. She is a math teacher at Case Middle school. Lorie enjoys singing in church, watching her husband and sons perform in local theater productions and various collegiate singing groups, and traveling with family whenever possible.

Much in life can be easily taken for granted. The beauty of the sunrise, the food on our tables, and the love within our families. Sometimes the greatest blessings in our lives have been invisible to us, and yet right under our noses the whole time. The members of Taken 4 Granite know that sisters, mothers, daughters, friends, and God-given gifts can easily be under-appreciated and overlooked. In the autumn of 2013, the quartet seized the opportunity to come together– sisters, mother, and friend when Christina came back to live at home after being away at college, and prior to Samantha going away to college– to NOT take each other or the music they can create for granted.

Aged to Perfection is composed of two moms (Kathy Pomer and Gaye LaCasce) and two daughters (Ellie Pomer and Alexa Beal.) Winning the Harmony, Inc. championship was surreal for them! Because they worked hard to achieve gold medal status and they were all first-time champions, ATP relates to and is supportive of all singers who are on a similar journey. Their motto is, “It’s not the destination, it’s the journey.” 

The quartet formed when they were all part of a mixed chorus in NH, but they now live in three different states; continuing to meet and rehearse is still a priority. They’ve lost count of their performances – shows, big and small; school master classes; Area and Chapter education events. They work hard to provide a polished, authentic, and memorable experience for every audience while singing their repertoire at the highest level possible.

Hailing from Atlanta, GA; Chattanooga, TN; Los Angeles, CA; and Rockville, MD., members Michaela Olson (Tenor), Tessa Walker (Lead), Candra Rice (Bass), and Melody Hine (Baritone) grew up loving barbershop music and are all proud members of the Barbershop Harmony Society, Sweet Adelines International, and Harmony, Incorporated. Hot Pursuit has been together since October 2016 (their birthday being on Halloween), and cannot wait to further their quartet adventure in Harmony Inc.!

They enjoy communal nap time, fangirling over their talented friends, and eating cheese pizza, though their true passion is spreading the love of singing to younger generations by teaching and mentoring at youth events across the country.

Hot Pursuit pride themselves on having a varied repertoire that pushes the envelope, including four-part arrangements of musical theatre, jazz, pop, Disney, (and of course) good ol’ barbershop songs.
