The Dubuque Music Men Barbershop Chorus will welcome The Newfangled Four as the headline quartet for their annual barbershop show. From Southern California, The Newfangled Four is one of the top barbershop quartets in the world, performing all around the United States and internationally. Formed in fall 2012, this foursome quickly bonded through their involvements with the Westminster Chorus and Masters of Harmony, two well-renowned choruses in the Barbershop Harmony Society. Combining old fashion slapstick humor with their quirky offbeat comedy, The Newfangled Four merges their talents as top-notch harmony singers and world-class entertainers. In 2013, the quartet won the International Collegiate Barbershop Quartet Contest and the Far Western District Quartet Contest, and they finished sixth in the world in 2023. Over the years, they have developed a reputation not only for their fine singing and showmanship, but also for their work and involvement in the youth movement as clinicians and educators, leading countless workshops for young singers in the U.S. The Newfangled Four has appeared on Buzzfeed, Hallmark's Home and Family, ABC's The Gong Show, and the CW's Christmas Carolers Challenge. The quartet has also recorded tracks for the Lifetime Movie Network. With millions of views on their YouTube performances, The Newfangled Four are proud to introduce the barbershop artform to aspiring young singers around the world. Entertaining audiences is their priority, and they cannot wait to entertain you. They are Jackson, Joey, Jake, and Marcus: The Newfangled Four!
