The Fillmore Ebell Club will be entertained this month by the Barbershop Quartet, The Harmony Channel Quartet, at the Veterans Memorial building on January 26, 2010.

The Harmony Channel Quartet has been entertaining audiences in Ventura and Santa Barbara Counties since 1990 and are members of the International Barbershop Harmony Society. The members are: Tenor: Duane Ashby of Santa Paula, Lead: Bruce Hunter of Ventura, Baritone: Doug Van Bogelen of Oxnard and Bass: Brent Burningham of Santa Paula. Their music is rooted in the Barbershop style, but they also perform songs in other musical genres. Some of their favorites are 50's style "doo-wop".

The quartet has performed for community groups, churches, families, birthdays, anniversaries, and many weddings, including those for three of their own daughters. They often donate their performances to charitable organizations to help with their fund raising efforts, and have worked in many roles to help support music education in the schools. You may have seen them delivering Singing Valentines somewhere in Ventura County over the last 19 years to support local music programs.

The quartet recently performed on a festively decorated sail boat, singing Christmas carols at Ventura Harbor's Parade of Lights, helping the entry win first place.

If anyone is interesting in singing some great music and making some good friends, you can contact Bruce Hunter about visiting a Pacific Sound (gents) or Channelaire (ladies) chorus rehearsal. Pacific Sound rehearses at the Ventura Adult and Continuing Education (VACE) center in Ventura, at 7:30 P.M., Mondays, #104. Further info at www.pacificsoundchorus.com.

Contact Bruce Hunter (805) 654-8381, for engagements.
