'Round Midnight
Male Barbershop Quartet from New York City, NY
'Round Midnight has been thrilling audiences for nearly two decades with their one-of-a-kind style. Dubbed “The Barbershop Gateway Drug” by Contemporary A Cappella godfather Deke Sharon, they demonstrate how close harmony can be applied to different musical genres like R&B, pop, jazz, rock, and Broadway. In their advocacy for music education, ‘Round Midnight was appointed as an “Arts Envoy” group by the U.S. State Department and they have conducted master classes on barbershop harmony for students of all ages from Kindergarten through University (and beyond) in North America and Europe. Founded: 2004 Members: Larry Bomback, Wayne Grimmer, T.J. Carollo, Jeff Glemboski Contact 'Round Midnight

 | 'Round Midnight: 'Round MidnightThe 2006 Harmony Sweeps Regional Champs and Audience Favorite from NYC, 'Round Midnight placed well in their first BHS International Competition in Anaheim, CA. Jeff, Wayne , T.J. and Larry bring us their first, self-titled CD of 10 tunes. Favorites are Van Morrison's "Moondance," "Try A Little Tenderness," "Don't Be A Baby, Baby," "Tonight" from West Side Story," the Doo-Wop classic "In The Still of the Night," the Righteous Brothers' "My Girl," The Skyliners' "Since I Don't Have You" and the Isley Brothers' "Shout!" We have to say that 'Round Midnight's rich, velvety harmonies are particularly fine on a classic Barbershop song like "Sing Me That Song Again," but every one of these cuts is a winner, and we love to see a top Barbershop groups push the envelope with their repertoire. An impressive debut recording from talented, fast-rising 'Round Midnight!
