National Barbershop Quartet Day

Apr 11, 2023

Celebrate National Barbershop Quartet Day with OATI!

Did you know that Barbershop music is deeply rooted in African American history? Throughout the 1880’s in the South, while waiting for their haircuts, men would often harmonize and sing songs to pass the time.

Eventually this led to the creation of multiple organizations that became accepting of men and women of any race or nationality in the same quartet and they compete all over the world together.
