Description: There has been barbershop quartet singing in the Shenango Valley for decades.
The first organized chapter started in the 1940’s and produced quartets that became popular everywhere they went. The Sharon Chapter became known for their fine quartets such as "Staff Masters", "TransFour", and one quartet that went on to national recognition in the 1950’s, "Lytle Brothers".
Barbershop singing was in its heyday then, and the chords flourished for about thirty years. But that chapter began to fade in the late 60’s and by 1972 it was gone.
