Formed in April 2004 , The Honeymooners is a mixed quartet from the Upper Valley area of Vermont and New Hampshire. Composed of two married couples, The HM enjoy performing a wide variety of a cappella music, but entertaining audiences is always their main goal. Doo-wop, barbershop, gospel and novelty numbers for every audience and occasion abound. Always searching to find those songs that are "not normally performed by a barbershop quartet"... songs like Spiderman, Don't Know Much About History and Under the Sea; you never really know what their next song might be… and when you hear it, you might be tempted to sing along!
Members of the Mixed Harmony Barbershop Quartet Association and very active; approaching 200 performances. This includes barbershop chapter shows, youth festivals, state fairs and private parties. They truly love a crowd, and their performances are energetic and just plain fun!
The Hendersons hail from Norwich, Vermont:
Lisa (Lead) is a business consultant for the State of VT and certainly the newest singer in the group, this being her first quartet ever. Even with her late start, Lisa has quickly become one of the most recognized leads in the Northeast. Lisa is also well known in the Upper Valley for her back-stage prowess in stage-managing BBS and a cappella shows at Lebanon Opera House… and she helps to manage the Opera House itself, serving on the Board.
Chris (Bass) is a Dartmouth College pharmacist by day and a barbershop-aholic by night. Chris sings bass for the 2006 Granite and Pine Division novice quartet champion, Custom Blend. Chris is past president and bass section leader of the North Country Chordsmen. Now singing with the Nashua Granite Statesmen and looking forward to his first experience of singing on the BHS international contest stage. His other passions include technology (nice website, Chris!) and tinkering on his Jeep Wrangler; Lisa just wishes it didn't cost so much money for “just one more upgrade!"
The Signors live in Grantham, New Hampshire:
Gaye (Tenor) is the Vice President for Development and Community Relations for the Visiting Nurses Association and Hospice of VT and NH. Gaye is well known for her ability to switch parts in barbershop - Gaye sang bass in the 2006 Harmony Inc. Area 2 novice champion quartet, Lovely (with her daughter, Alexa) as well as lead and baritone in their family quartet, Family Feud. Gaye is also president of the Lebanon Opera House board of directors and frequent MC for BBS and a cappella shows (with her stage-manager buddy, Lisa.)
Dan (Baritone) is the choral director at Lebanon (NH) High and Junior High Schools, where he
is proud of his numerous BBS ensembles. Dan sang lead in the 2001 NED Quartet
Champion Overdrive and he also directed the North Country Chordsmen to the NED
Small Chorus Championship in 2003. A vocal coach and former singing judge,
he now sings lead in a new men's barbershop quartet called Rat Race. With a little help from Gaye, Dan also directs a community a cappella chorus called Harmony Night.
When The Honeymooners are not performing (which is not very often, at this point!), they can be found in their respective hot tubs, soaking in the bubbles, or joy-riding in their respective convertibles. Socializing with the extended quartet family is an important part of their BBS lives.
