Barbershop Music Appreciation Day Celebrates Harmony

TULSA, OK (June 18, 2019) – Every year on July 13, singers in Sweet Adelines International and fans of a cappella music sung in the barbershop style celebrate Barbershop Music Appreciation Day with community performances and other activities designed to share this unique singing style.

Barbershop singing is an a cappella (voices only, no instruments) singing style with roots in African-American improvisational singing of the 1800s. Barbershop Music Appreciation Day commemorates the founding of Sweet Adelines International.

Founded on July 13, 1945 in Tulsa, Okla., Sweet Adelines International is a worldwide women’s singing organization committed to advancing a cappella singing in the barbershop style through opportunities in education, performance and competition. Sweet Adelines is one of the world’s largest singing organizations for women, with a membership of nearly 21,000 in 525 choruses and over 900 quartets across the globe.

To learn about local Barbershop Music Appreciation Day performances, find your local Sweet Adelines chorus by visiting https://members.sweetadelines.com/find-a-chorus or email member@sweetadelines.com.

With summer being peak moving season, the personal-finance website WalletHub took a close look at 2019's Best Beach Towns to Live in as well as accompanying videos.

To determine the most livable beachside communities, WalletHub compared 192 cities across 62 key metrics. The data set ranges from housing costs to share of for-sale waterfront homes to quality of beach water.

Our study divides beach towns into two categories, those by the ocean and those by lakes.
