Fourtold

Mixed Meter

Annalie, Brandon, Tyler, and Thomas are “Mixed Meter,” and were the 2022 Land O' Lakes District Novice and Mixed Champions. ♫ Facebook

Splash

Sharon, Rebecca, Karen, and Becky started singing together in January of 2024. They are a chapter quartet of both Lake Country Chorus and City of Lakes Chorus, which might provide a clue about how their name was chosen. They have been delivering Twin Cities Singing Valentines for three seasons, performing for various venues and events, and look forward ringing chords at their first regional competition in April of 2027. ♫ Facebook

Upbeat

Karla, Val, Bonnie, and JoAnn have spent the last seven years doing what they love most – creating beautiful harmony together. This women’s barbershop quartet recently achieved an exciting milestone, earning second place in a regional quartet singing contest this past spring. Whether performing for local audiences or competing on stage, they are driven by a shared passion for ringing chords and uplifting others through the power of music. ♫ Facebook

Bandit

Nick, Zach, Jonathan, and Jay began singing together in March of 2026. The group’s name was inspired by the dad from the hit show Bluey, a favorite among the members’ children. As a fun fact, each member was living in a different Midwest state (IL, MI, MN, WI) in 2025 prior to moving to MN. ♫ Facebook

Gray Duck

Eric, Brent, Charlie, and Dylan have all been in various award-winning quartets; in this particular combination, they celebrate their Minnesota roots. ♫ Facebook

Finale

All performers are welcomed on stage for our final song.

The North Star Chorus is the official Greater St. Paul Chapter of the Barbershop Harmony Society. Our mission is to provide men an opportunity for camaraderie, singing, and entertaining in the barbershop style.
