Like a fine-tuned vocal orchestra (Alvin Chear, bass; Khristian Dentley, baritone; Claude McKnight, Dave Thomas, Mark Kibble and Joel Kibble, tenors), the group continues to push the boundaries of creativity and musical genius with every new release, and with their ever-evolving live performances.

The high-energy sextet will be joining us for a special Christmas concert, putting their unique and beguiling spin on a trove of holiday classics, that is sure to be a highlight of the season!
