Meet our 2019 Guest Quartets
Lemon Squeezy - Killer Whales - Pzazz
Lemon Squeezy
Lemon Squeezy was founded a dark and snowy night in the beginning of February 2010. Since then, the quartet has developed a crisp and delightful sound throughout a big variety of songs, ranging from Swedish men’s choir to Elvis Presley.
The quartet grew out of the rich soil of Swedish choir tradition. Throughout grade school, all four members attended Adolf Fredrik’s School of Music, Sweden’s most renowned choir school. Afterwards, they all made the natural transition into Stockholm Music Gymnasium, and today all four are members of Zero8, Sweden’s most prominent male barbershop chorus.
In the summer of 2012, Lemon Squeezy won the Collegiate World Championship in Barbershop. Two years later, in Las Vegas, they achieved 5th place in the open International Competition, moving on to 4th in 2015 and an honourable silver medal in 2016. Now they are on the road to pursue further goals and good times together
