Second NatureBased in the greater Providence, Rhode Island area, Second Nature has spent six years honing their sound and building a name for themselves in the Northeastern District. Their honors include being named Overall Quartet Champion, Novice Champion, and Men’s Quartet Champion in the Patriot Division, as well as Northeastern District Novice Champion and 4th Place Medalist Quartet. With heart, humor, and harmony, Second Nature brings both polish and personality to every performance.

Second ChantsThis quartet's story began over dinner at a barbershop convention in Verona, NY, when a single tag—the closing bars of a barbershop tune—sparked a friendship that turned into something special. With a repertoire of fun, feel-good songs (often with a romantic twist), Second Chants has delighted audiences at the Nashua Holiday Stroll, senior communities throughout New Hampshire and Massachusetts, and regional harmony jamborees.Married couples David & Joyce and Kim & Gil remind us that the best things in life—and in love—sometimes come with a second chance… or in this case, a Second Chants.
