About

Formed in early 2013, they rapidly grew as a top-end performing group and qualified for the annual international barbershop quartet contest where they placed 23rd. This foursome may be a new combination, but their members have been accomplished international barbershop performers for many years. Founded on the belief that music is about sharing. This quartet formed to embark on a journey together.

Entertaining audiences through genuine and honest delivery of music is the goal of this foursome. From love ballads, inspirational music, traditional barbershop, and feature selections we hope you will enjoy their unique blend and artistry that makes them one of the top performing groups in the barbershop harmony society.

The Core was originally named Common Core but changed their name to avoid any association with the political and education policy in the US known as the Common Core State Standards Initiative.
