  • About 'Round Midnight

    'Round Midnight has been thrilling audiences for over two decades with their one-of-a-kind style. They demonstrate how barbershop harmony can be applied to different musical genres like R&B, pop, jazz, rock, and Broadway. Known for their innovative vocal charts by resident arranger and dynamic lead singer Wayne Grimmer, the Harmonizer Magazine says that their unique identity has "subtly influenced other group's song choices, arranging techniques, and vocal stylings."

     

    Dubbed "The Barbershop Gateway Drug" by Contemporary A Cappella guru Deke Sharon (Music Director - Pitch Perfect film series), ‘Round Midnight has earned accolades from various A Cappella organizations including: CASA - The Contemporary A Cappella Society, Varsity Vocals, Harmony Sweepstakes, and the Barbershop Harmony Society (BHS). The quartet is a three-time Top 10 World Finalist in the BHS International Barbershop Quartet Contest as well as a two-time Harmony Sweepstakes National Finalist and "Audience Favorite" award winner. The group has received praise for their recording efforts too, garnering multiple Contemporary A Cappella Recording Award (CARA) nominations.

     

    In their advocacy for music education, ‘Round Midnight was appointed as an "Arts Envoy" group by the U.S. State Department and sponsored to share barbershop harmony on a week-long tour of schools and free public concerts in the Eastern European country of Latvia. They continue to serve as clinicians for barbershop master classes, festivals, workshops, assemblies, and camps for students of all ages from Kindergarten through University (and beyond) in North America and Europe.
