We even amaze ourselves . . .

Aaron Con, baritone

Compared to his quartet brothers, Aaron is the barbershop newcomer. After attending a free introductory singing program (sing, Sing, SING!) offered by the Northwest Sound Men's Chorus, he was hooked. Singing and ringing chords with those jovial guys awakened his hidden "ham" bone, and now ten-plus years later, he enjoys performing as the baritone in Vocal Vintage as well as in Northwest Sound and Northwest Mix.

Dan Meyer, lead

Dan has been singing in barbershop and a cappella choruses, and quartets since 1986. He started as a baritone but 13 years or so ago switched to lead when his voice teacher told him he was really a tenor. Dan's interest in musical leadership also led him to direct the The Chorus of the Brandywine in Wilmington, DE for six years prior to moving to the Pacific Northwest in 2014.

Bob Thomas, bass

Bob grew up singing, as his mom was the church organist and choir director, and his Dad was a singer as well. Bob started his barbershop life back in 1989 joining the Tualatin Valley chorus known for its comedy sets. In just three years Bob was a chicken, caveman, serial killer, Indian, vaudeville performer, Hawaiian dude, Uncle Sam, and a jail prisoner. He has been singing with the Northwest Sound since 1992 and has been in a number of quartets over the years.

Jim Civarra, tenor

Jim is the quartet’s Seattle native. He started barbershopping in a production of “The Music Man” back in 1971. He joined the Barbershop Society in 1983 while living in New Jersey and then returned to Seattle and joined the new Northwest Sound Men's Chorus in 1985. He has sung in a number of quartets including Pieces of Eight, which sang together for 21 years, and Premium Blend. In addition to barbershop and school and community choirs, Jim has sung in the Seattle Opera chorus and in over a dozen musical comedies and operettas. He has been Harold Hill in “The Music Man”, Daddy Warbucks in “Annie”, and the Major General in “The Pirates of Penzance”.
