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.
The Figgy Pudding fundraiser is back this year! We will be performing at the Market on Figgy Friday, December 3. Donate to support the Senior Center and Food Bank on our behalf here.
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!
Singing again!
A SeaChordsmen VLQ (Very Large Quartet) was invited to sing at the special Queen Anne Farmer's Market Pumpkin Patch day on a beautiful sunny Saturday. This was our first live public outing since our Holiday Show in 2019, and the quartets that delivered Singing Valentines in February, 2020. It was great to be back!
It still being an active pandemic and all, we actually wore masks while singing, but we were smiling broadly behind them!
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.
Sound Transit added a video montage to part of our Northgate Link Line song (new lyrics to B&O Line, with permission). Check it out!
Join our chorus and be part of our next project! Email [email protected] for more information.
In honor of the opening of Sound Transit extending light rail to Northgate, the Seattle SeaChordsmen are proud to present the Northgate Link Line song! The arrangement is the classic B&O Line with lyrics specially written by our own Drew Robinson. Earlier this year the SeaChordsmen were able to start rehearsing together, safely, in the Northgate station parking garage by special arrangement with Sound Transit. We present this song to thank them.
An intrepid SeaChordsmen VLQ (Very Large Quartet) premiered our "Thank You" to Sound Transit for use of their Northgate Station parking garage for rehearsals during the pandemic. Our very own Drew Robinson (who introduces the song) wrote new lyrics to a classic barbershop song for the occasion.
Once again, thanks to our arrangement with Sound Transit, another successful rehearsal in one of their garages last week, and another one coming up this week. Still messing with the best way to balance all the parts, but it's getting a bit better each time! Contact us if you want to join us! Here is a short audio sample where Drew is rehearsing the last few chords of a Polecat! https://seachordsmen.org/sites/seachordsmen.org/files/audio/Apr13-Down-clip.mp3
