We were so honored to sing a few songs in honor of Phil Fredrickson, who was a member of the Seattle SeaChordsmen for 40 years -- from 1968-2008. Thank you to Phil's family and the Horizon House community for allowing us to participate in celebrating the life of this wonderful singer and amazing man.
The SeaChordsmen were so happy to participate in this year's virtual Mini-Figgy Pudding. Cheers to guests Damon, Dillon, Robert, and Sam for joining in their first public performance with the chorus.
The Seattle SeaChordsmen are proud to support Scout Troup 72 each year by helping out at their Christmas tree lot. Proceeds from the sales of these trees go to support the Scouts, the Queen Anne Food Bank, and the Seattle SeaChordsmen. Word on the street is that these are some of the best trees to be found in Seattle!
Looking for your tree for this year? Head to the Safeway on upper Queen Anne -- you'll find the lot on the north side of the store. Thanks for your support!
Pictured here is Rod, SeaChordsmen bass (and longtime board treasurer) posing with the trees.
We know - it's BARELY November, but the Seattle SeaChordsmen have been hard at work pulling the pieces together for our 2021 Holiday Postcard -- Warm and Fuzzy. Here you can see just a small taste of what's to come, with storyboarding and choreography by our own creative mastermind Jim Durand, and music mixing already in process by the infinitely patient Saulius Matas. Yes, there will be Santa hats and cheesy smiles! Here we are briefly unmasked for some short, ultra-low-respiratory lip synching. Keep your eyes on our YouTube channel for more info as we come closer to the holidays!
Here's a video of some of some in-process performance masterminding!
A contingent of singers gathered at Cogir on Queen Anne on Sunday to celebrate the 93rd birthday of SeaChordsman Jim Smith. We surprised him (with the help of his niece), and cajoled him into joining us for some quartet and large-group singing. Congratulations to Jim on marking his 66th year as a SeaChordsman, and happy birthday!!
Curious to hear a clip? Here's Jim singing lead on Sweet and Lovely with bass Mike, baritone Bill, and tenor Ed.
Check out our 2020 Figgy Pudding performance! The Figgy Pudding Special will be re-broadcast on KING5-TV at 7:30 pm Wednesday (12/23) if you missed it earlier.
It's official -- Figgy Pudding 2020 is in the books. Sure, it didn't look like the Figgy Pudding event of years past, but a nice chunk of change was raised for the Pike Market Senior Center & Food Bank -- especially crucial this year. The Seattle SeaChordsmen were honored to be involved in the raising of funds and the spreading of holiday cheer! We performed two songs:
After over thirty years singing in the annual Figgy Pudding Caroling fundraiser downtown, in rain or, well, usually rain, the SeaChordsmen are proud to be part of this year’s first (and hopefully only) Virtual Figgy Pudding fundraiser.
