We're a barbershop quartet consisting of four incredibly average guys who met through a series of completely unremarkable circumstances. Two of us sing with Frederick, two with D.C., and somehow, despite our best efforts, we ended up forming a quartet.

We sing barbershop music. We show up to rehearsals. We wear matching outfits when necessary. There is nothing particularly groundbreaking about what we do, but we do it. And we do it adequately.

If you enjoy well-tuned chords, perfectly acceptable performances, and absolutely no unnecessary flair, then you might just enjoy Surprisingly Competent. Or not. Either way, we'll keep singing.

Members: Jim Lake, John David Maybury, Craig Ruth, Rick Ulrey
