About us
We're changing our name! The Seattle Chapter of the Society for the Preservation and Encouragement of Barber Shop Quartet Singing in America is changing it's chorus name and branding.
We are Rain City Voices. We will continue to use Seattle SeaChordsmen for a while as we migrate our web presence. While this transition is in progress, please reach out to us at both [email protected] and [email protected]. Thank you.
Our chorus normally rehearses Tuesday nights, 7pm - 9:30pm, in our rehearsal room on the basement level of Queen Anne Baptist Church, 2011 1st Ave. N. Seattle, WA 98109. Guest are always welcome!
The Seattle Chapter of the Barbershop Harmony Society (formerly the Society for the Preservation and Encouragement of Barbershop Singing in America) was chartered on April 14, 1949, and incorporated on October 2, 1953. Since then, the Seattle SeaChordsmen and Rain City Voices have been bringing the joy of barbershop harmony to music lovers in the area.
Our singers get their greatest enjoyment from public performances. The singing Valentine program delivers love-ly messages throughout the area. The chorus has been a regular performer at the Folklife Festival for years, and during the Christmas season the chorus has participated in the Figgy Pudding songfest in downtown Seattle every year since the first one. You can often find us singing at the Queen Anne Farmers Market. We have appeared at Sonics and Mariners games, made appearances at the Vashon Island Strawberry Festival, and, in addition to presenting one to two wonderful shows each year, provide entertainment for various social and business gatherings throughout the Seattle area.
We are a gender-inclusive chorus that sings TTBB barbershop repertoire. We welcome all singers to our chorus, regardless of singing ability -- there are no auditions. If you can sing, we will help you improve; if you are new to singing, we will support you in understanding and best using your voice. And we would love to have you be a part of our rehearsals. Come join us on any Tuesday evening!
