Secrets of the Season

North Oregon Coast Hosts Cutting Edge Barbershop Festival

(Seaside, Oregon) – It’s the 24th Annual Barbershop Cabaret in the north coast town of Seaside, and again, it will be a doozy.

This isn’t your grandpa’s barbershop show, either. There are modern versions of the genre that take it to the cutting edge, incorporating contemporary music stylings into this interesting web that mixes past with present.

Think of it as somewhere between handlebar moustaches and mohawks.

Doug Barker, Event Coordinator for the Seaside Chamber and long time Cabaret Chairman, said there will be some new things to look for. “You’re really seeing and hearing the best in a cappella performances at a very personal level,” Barker said. “The new sound system we have at the Convention Center brings real clarity to these close harmonies. And these groups have fun singing. It’s an unbeatable show at an unbeatable price.”
