Nightlife, from Southern California, is only the second quartet in barbershop singing history to win gold medals as both
international quartet champions and as members of the winning barbershop chorus on the same day! Truly a fitting achievement for four individuals who have spent most of their lives singing and performing for others. They have among them
more than 95 years of barbershop experience -- something that clearly shows itself in their superb interpretation of songs and enjoyable entertainment package.
Nightlife first got together in November of 1990, and in the fall of 1991 won the
Far Western District Quartet Championship. In the international competitions that followed, the quartet quickly achieved success as well, winning
two bronze medals and a silver. But, in July, 1996, Nightlife reached the pinnacle by being declared the new
International Quartet Champion!
Each man in
Nightlife has been a section leader of their home chorus, the
Masters of Harmony (five time
International Chorus Champions), and members of the music committee. Both John and Brett have experience as musical directors for other barbershop choruses. John directs the
Wasatch Front Saltaires in Salt Lake City, and Brett has served as the director of the
California Promise Chorus in Irvine, California and interim director of the
Masters of Harmony.
Nightlife has performed throughout the
United States and other countries including
Canada,
England,
Ireland,
Germany,
Australia, and
Fiji. They have performed for celebrities such as
Dick Van Dyke, former Senator
John Glenn, Bill Hanna of
Hanna-Barbera,
Ted Turner, and
Jane Fonda. The quartet had a featured role in a
CBS movie, "Mother of the Bride," and has appeared on the
ABC daytime show, "Mike and Maty."
Their recordings, "
Songs at Twilight", "
Basin Street Blues", and "
Blues in the Night" are available on both compact disc and cassette.
You are sure to be rewarded by
Nightlife--a quartet and sound of distinction!
