BACKSPIN
Barbershop Quartet

Backspin enjoys singing classic barbershop harmony with the Lamplighter chorus as well as in their quartet. They
also specialize in "50's" harmonies and recognizable old favorites that will make you tap your feet and sing along.
But, please, not too loud - we get confused easily and sing the wrong words.  (Just kidding).

Backspin enjoys over 80 years of barbershop experience among them.

since he was 25 years old he has been
