John Sherburn
Time After Time
As many know John Sherburn (tenor 1985 New Tradition) has been singing away from the barbershop quartet style of music for a while and dabbled in rock-n-roll.  He was active with The Diamonds for three years on the road (famous for Why Do Fools Fall In Love, The Stroll, Silhouettes and Little Darlin'). Most recently John has been actively singing jazz in several Seattle jazz clubs. The reaction was so positive he decided to record and has released his own solo project. It’s entitled “Time After Time” and features John’s smooth voice on ten timeless jazz songs.
Song List:
Whisper Not
Time After Time
Blackberry Winter
The Very Thought of You
I’ll Remember April
Nature Boy
I Must Be Coming Down With The Blues
I’ve Forgotten You
Raise The Roof
I Though About You

Kenny Ray
Raise The Roof
Kenny Ray’s new CD is entitled Raise The Roof and it certainly succeeds in setting another new standard for the former lead of Bluegrass Student Union. This is the third recording by KRay and follows “Pure Price” (song of Chilton Price) and The “Best Is Yet To Come”. This one is even better as he is backed up by a 32-piece orchestra.

Chilton Price: "When I put music in front of Kenny Ray, I have every confidence that's he'll do what I want done with it. That's because he feels the music the way I write it. This is an album that showcases his wonderful talent. I'm proud to be part of it."

The Perfect Gentlemen
Beside Ourselves
Beside Ourselves is the first recording by The Perfect Gentlemen. Released in 1999, it is a collection of classic barbershop arrangements. An added feature to a number of songs on this recording is the Deagan Organ Chimes, a turn of the century instrument made by the J.C. Deagan Company. Other instruments and sounds include tenor guitar, nose whistle, harmonica, and believe it or not, a Scotch predator call. Great music and the group’s trademark humor make for a winning combination. Sadly, this recording is now out-of-print on compact disc. For those of you who have a tape player in their cars, there are still some audio cassettes available (does anyone remember cassette tape?).
Songs:
Happy Days Are Here Again
The Disney Medley (Whistle While You Work, Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah, It's A Small World, Heigh-Ho, Mickey Mouse Club March)

4 Beers and 10 Tags

Also included are two original tunes penned by the group’s tenor, Tim Reeder. The final ten cuts are barbershop tags, designed for the listener to sing along. The CD comes with a tag book so the notes are there on the page for the listener to jump right in and become one of The Perfect Gentlemen.

Good News! Quartet
Volume 1 & 2
 
The Good News! was originally formed in 1986 by Mo Rector (Mark IV - 1969), and included Joe Mazzone (Regents - 1974), Dale Deiser (Mark IV - 1969), and Jerry Fairchild (Sidewinders - 1964). Their ministry was to arrange and sing Christian hymns and gospel songs in the Barbershop style, and produce learning tapes and song folios for other groups.  They also began the Good News! Gospel Sing at the annual Barbershop Harmony Convention.
 
Jim Foy replaced Mo Rector in 1991 and the Happiness Emporium (1975) took over the ministry in 2000. 
 
As the Good News! Gospel Quartet, the foursome travels the country singing gospel shows and church services, as well as hosting the annual Good News! Gospel Sing.  They continue to produce learning CDs and song folios of the arrangements as well as listening CDs.  Their latest CD is a blend of great Barbershop accompanied by a wonderful Southern Gospel style band.
