 | Standards: A Standards Christmas/ A Night To RememberWe have been wowed by these five brothers from Idaho, twice when they nearly won the Harmony Sweeps, by their first 3 CDs, and now, even more so, by "A Night," their Christmas CD. We join the guys singing "Let Ring Out the Bells" on the street on a snowy evening, where they see a homeless man and a boy, Julian. They sing a wonderfully Doo-Woppy "Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer" and the Beach Boys' "Little Saint Nick" for them, then they take Julian on a walking odyssey to find the true meaning of Christmas. On the way they harmonize on "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy," "White Christmas," "Carol of the Bells," "God Rest Ye, Merry Gentlemen," "O Holy Night," "Silent Night" and the piano-accompanied "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" as beautifully as we have ever heard these songs. The interactions with Julian and the guys are touching and profound, but if you'd just like to hear the tunes, a second CD with just the songs is included. A truly magical "Night!"

 | Standards: In Perfect HarmonyThe Standards are five brothers from Idaho, who have united in a winsome combination of talent and personality. Though performing about half self-penned originals in the pop/contemporary vernacular, the group also covers R & B songs such as "Lean On Me" and doo-wop standards such as "Sixteen Candles." They are between 17-24 in age, but they have been singing together and refining their raw talent since 1994. They obviously have been influenced by modern a cappella vocal bands, as well as the soul singers of previous eras. Their choreography and blend wowed the Sweepstakes audience!
