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.

Coast to Coast


Barbershop is a super fantastic hobby. One weekend, Lunch Break is basking in the sunny glow of the west coast's Pasadena, and a mere 6 days later, frolicking on the Atlantic ocean's front door in Sunny Florida. Thank you, barbershop infrastructure! How on earth could we ever repay the work our harmonious forefathers have done to lay down the foundation upon which we could build a fully realized dream of travelling and singing? Presumably, we could continue the work in our own chapters to keep the dream alive for others. We're modern day bards, people.

OK, maybe we're closer to modern day court jesters, except there are no kings anywhere.

A big shout out to the Greater Canaveral men's chorus, and the beautiful ladies of Sound of Sunshine for inviting us to be a part of their shows. All of you ladies and gentlement were wonderful to us, and even let us share a dressing room with the celebrities from the Humdingers, a world class quartet completely bent on entertainment no matter what the cost, even if it means dancing or doing a hat routine.

But the icing on the cake has to be getting the ol' red carpet treatment at Sunday evening's Orlando Magic game. The mighty Magic basketballers of Orlando defeated the New Jerseys of Nets handily, and Lunch Break got free desserts and center court photos in the process. It's who you know in this world, especially if it's Mike.

But really, the icing on the icing on the cake was sharing a flight back to Nashville with Sarah Palin and Dubya (lookalikes.. fine). There were surprisingly few jeers from onlookers. Way to go, humanity.
