OC Times - Live From The Contest Stage

These four fresh-faced, talented young men from (of course) Orange County, CA, inspired by such artists as Michael Buble, Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley, are reincarnating some of the great swing music songs and rock 'n roll classic hits, with the intention of taking barbershop harmony back to where it started over a century ago, into pop culture. Cutting their barbershop chops as International Chorus gold medalists with the Masters of Harmony as well as section leaders with the local Westminster Chorus, OC Times has been rising like winged cream in International Quartet competition, starting the 2004 contest ranked 46th and rising to 18th at the finish. In 2005 they took the stage at the LDS Conference Center in Salt Lake City, and delivered 6 songs to earn themselves a 5th place International medal. These six songs, "Come Fly With Me," "Honey, Open That Door/Hey Good Lookin' (medley)," "Love Me," "Good Luck Charm," "Put Your Head on My Shoulder" and "Save the Last Dance/Sway (medley)" are live from all three rounds of their award-winning performance. As a bonus, we get to hear the guys as part of the Westminster Chorus (which placed 9th in 2004 and are the youngest chorus every to compete on the international stage) singing "The Way You Look Tonight" and "South Rampart Street Parade." Ringing harmonies, great arrangements, strong leads—the SLC audience loves OC Times, and so do we! 5709 CD 9.98
