Bank of Harmony
David Lockwood, Jason Guffey, Steven Arlen, and Tyler Ledon
Bank of Harmony has been entertaining audiences since 2006. However, this acapella powerhouse really hit their stride in 2016. Since that time, they have been seen on national television competing on “America’s Got Talent”, as the winners of The CW’s “Christmas Caroler Challenge”, and appearing as guest artists on Spike TV’s “Caraoke Showdown” produced by Howie Mandel. They have also worked with and created content for FOX, Comedy Central, ABC, Google, Sony Pictures Entertainment, House of Blues, NPR, and KFI just to name a few.

Newfangled Four

The Newfangled Four is a barbershop quartet out of Southern California and represents the Westminster, Santa Fe Springs, and Las Vegas Chapters of the Barbershop Harmony Society. They were 2019 BHS 6th Place International Quartet Finalists. We pulled this information directly off their Facebook Page. You will love the Newfangled Four quartet.

Westminster Chorus

Directed by Justin Miller
There just aren't enough words to describe the impact that Westminster Chorus has not only had on barbershop, but in the chorus music world at large. For over 15 years, after numerous gold medal-winning performance and a World Choir Games overall championship under their belts, Westminster has consistently set new bars of music excellence year after year, and showed the rest of the barbershop world what was possible with the right combination of talent, hard work, dedication, and musical leadership. With Midwinter right in their backyard, we're excited to have Westminster Chorus join us and share their incredible gift with us.

The Festival, Seniors Quartet Contest, and all shows will be streamed live on FloVoice.com
