1996 Harmony Queens | For Heaven's Sake

For Heaven’s Sake first performed on their chapter show in 1994 and went on to win the Harmony, Inc. International Quartet Contest in Saint John, New Brunswick in 1996. They represented Harmony, Inc. at the World Harmony Jamboree in Anaheim, California in July 1999 and were selected to perform at the first-ever Sing 2001! A Cappella Celebration held in Nashville, TN. They have produced four CDs – “What A Wonderful World” (nominated for a 1998 Contemporary A Cappella Recording Award (CARA) for Best Barbershop Album and Best Barbershop Song), “Now and Again”, “I Wish You Love” (nominated for 2009 Best Barbershop Song) and “Let’s Live It Up”. The foursome was blessed to be presented with the Image of Harmony Award twice - once with Laurie in 2000 and again in 2014 with Lynn.

For Heaven's Sake was instrumental in the creation of Lakeside A Cappella Camp, a summer youth camp located in Central New York, and served for several years on staff. They also served as clinicians at other a cappella camps and always love working with our future barbershoppers!

Members of For Heaven’s Sake include Lynn Blakeney (lead), Lorie Autote (tenor), Mary Ann Wert (baritone), and Katie Taylor (bass). Their original lead, Laurie (Shepherd) O’Donnell retired from the quartet in July 2012.

How fitting the name Showcase is for this foursome! They love to sing, to show their best to audiences, and to present special events (songs) in order to tug on the heartstrings of their listeners.

2012 Harmony Queens | Epic

Epic is proudly and humbly affiliated with Harmony, Inc., an epic sisterhood that aims to “empower all women through education, friendship, and a cappella singing in the barbershop style.”

We started making some Epic noise in early 2011 when Chris and Kris started digging around for singers with a different first name. We found Anne, who is sufficiently loud. And we found Shana, who is, indeed, a former Miss Maryland.

We like Epic shoes, Epic tags, and Epic rehearsals.

2013 Harmony Queens | Spot On

2013 Harmony Queens | Spot On
Spot On has been together since February of 2013 and we have had one heck of a journey since we formed. We joined Harmony Incorporated and met the wonderful women of Area 4 in June of 2013, where we received the title of Area 4 Champions. In November of that year, we traveled to Windsor, Ontario where we earned first place in the International contest, awarding us the title of 2013 Harmony Incorporated Harmony Queens! Our championship year was incredible; we met new people, learned new songs, and enjoyed the busiest week of our lives in Louisville, KY November 2014 where we received our permanent crowns.

Spot On loves to work hard and prepare for contest, but above all things, we are each others' best friends. Our hobbies include: quoting Mean Girls and Gilmore Girls, eating HuHot Mongolian Grill, dressing up in crazy costumes for themed New Year's Eve parties, sending memes to each other through our quartet text thread, buying/wearing things with polka dots ("spots") on them, and making each other laugh. It's true when they say that your quartet isn't just your quartet, but it's also your family. Our families mean the world to us, and we try to all be together as often as possible. With each family being made up of two parents, a brother, and a sister, we sure do have a lot in common! Our parents all met each other through barbershop, we are all "barbershop brats", and the two married ladies met their husbands at barbershop-related events. To say that we owe our lives to barbershop would be an understatement. And what better way to spend time with our friends and families than to ring a good old barbershop chord.

2016 Harmony Queens | Taken 4 Granite

Much in life can be easily taken for granted. The beauty of the sunrise, the food on our tables, and the love within our families. Sometimes the greatest blessings in our lives have been invisible to us, and yet right under our noses the whole time. The members of Taken 4 Granite know that sisters, mothers, daughters, friends, and God-given gifts can easily be under-appreciated and overlooked. In the autumn of 2013, the quartet seized the opportunity to come together– sisters, mother, and friend when Christina came back to live at home after being away at college, and prior to Samantha going away to college– to NOT take each other or the music they can create for granted.

2018 Harmony Queens | Aged to Perfection

Aged to Perfection is composed of two moms (Kathy Pomer and Gaye LaCasce) and two daughters (Ellie Pomer and Alexa Beal.) Winning the Harmony, Inc. championship was surreal for them! Because they worked hard to achieve gold medal status and they were all first-time champions, ATP relates to and is supportive of all singers who are on a similar journey. Their motto is, “It’s not the destination, it’s the journey.” 

The quartet formed when they were all part of a mixed chorus in NH, but they now live in three different states; continuing to meet and rehearse is still a priority. They’ve lost count of their performances – shows, big and small; school master classes; Area and Chapter education events. They work hard to provide a polished, authentic, and memorable experience for every audience while singing their repertoire at the highest level possible.

2019 Harmony Queens | Hot Pursuit

Hailing from Atlanta, GA; Chattanooga, TN; Los Angeles, CA; and Rockville, MD., members Michaela Olson (Tenor), Tessa Walker (Lead), Candra Rice (Bass), and Melody Hine (Baritone) grew up loving barbershop music and are all proud members of the Barbershop Harmony Society, Sweet Adelines International, and Harmony, Incorporated. Hot Pursuit has been together since October 2016 (their birthday being on Halloween), and cannot wait to further their quartet adventure in Harmony Inc.!

They enjoy communal nap time, fangirling over their talented friends, and eating cheese pizza, though their true passion is spreading the love of singing to younger generations by teaching and mentoring at youth events across the country.

Hot Pursuit pride themselves on having a varied repertoire that pushes the envelope, including four-part arrangements of musical theatre, jazz, pop, Disney, (and of course) good ol’ barbershop songs.
