Midtown formed in the spring of 2018 and quickly gained attention from the barbershop and a cappella world. After just one rehearsal, they won their first Mid Atlantic District Division contest, and a few months later went on to win the Mid Atlantic District Quartet contest. That following spring they competed at their first prelims contest where they qualified for their first international competition. There, they walked away with a 5th place Bronze Medal and the Dealers Choice Award for the highest scoring first-time quartet. After a three year COVID-hiatus, they just recently returned to the international competition and are now the reigning 2nd Place Silver Medal quartet. They’ve put most of their time and energy into making music videos and other forms of media to get their music and brand out to the world. Specializing in several different genres including barbershop, contemporary a cappella, jazz, and musical theater. Based out of New York City, Midtown is eager to share their music with audiences all over the world and to bring a new flavor of 4-part harmony to the masses.
