Lunch Break began singing together during the summer of 2007 just for fun during their lunch break hour, and haven't stopped since. Combining humor, youthful energy, and good old fashioned barbershop harmony, Lunch Break brings a unique brand of entertainment to audiences of all ages. Lunch Break's repertoire includes barbershop, jazz, gospel, and folk-hip-hop-fusion.
Lunch Break is fortunate to have won the Barbershop Harmony Society's 2007 Dixie District Championship, and finished as the 12th place semifinalist at the International Barbershop Convention in 2009.
Lunch Break's first CD "Out To Lunch" gone to press
Lunch Break is excited about our very first CD (for any of us!)
Out to Lunch which has just gone to press and we expect copies to arrive in a few weeks. Check back here soon for updates as things develop, including a Paypal link to purchase. A full list of "thank yous" will go out once things start rolling in, but in the meantime, we've put clips from the CD online so you can get a "taste" of what's to come.
"Taste." Get it?
This is how the cool people 'snackity snack'.
"Come on get happy, the sun is.. uhh.. ummmmm.... "
Everyday menial tasks take on an entirely new feel when thrust in front of 500+ people and behind 3 of the best quartets in the Society. Take
remembering words, for instance. Sigh. Oh well, despite dropping words left and right as thought they were HOT, the wonderful folks in the Johnny Appleseed District received us warmly and made us feel welcome. Having to follow directly behind TKO, Buffoons, and The Allies, certainly didn't help, but who do we have to blame but ourselves for blanking out on what was tried and true.
Speaking of.. the JAD quartets were in full effect and will no doubt make a huge splash at Internationals. Not to mention the mighty Alliance chorus under the direction of Dave Calland. These guys are ready. wow
See you all soon.
Louder please
Loud was definitely the volume du jour as we shared the stage with one of our all time FAVORITE quartets Redline and their absolutely dazzling (and loud?) sound. Watch out for these guys at the International Convention. It'll be a burner of barns. Our wonderful hosts, the chapter out of Jackson, Mississippi were wonderful to have invited us to perform on their May 31st show and open for our friends in Redline.
So we rented a van so as not to put extra miles on any of our own vehicles and make the trip as comfortable as possible for 4.. grown.. men (and 5 on the return trip), and as fate would have it, we blew a left rear tire which we didn't discover until after our meal at Longhorns about 1.5 hours along the way. Awe-some. At least we had tummies full of delicious steak as we scrambled to locate the Holy-Grail of a spare tire and mount the bad boy, before embarking on a rental-replacement trip that turned into a Gilligan's Island-esque stormy perilous quest into the heart of Memphis' seedy underbelly.
It was nearly 1am when we heroically escaped Memphis' late-nite car rental industry's lazy grasp and found ourselves in Jackson a few hours later.
No matter, however. When your feet are comfortable, life is good.
Comfortable feet.
