The story behind Soundproof....
The quartet originally formed in 1994 and the music of Soundproof continues to be inspired by the barbershop family history of its members. This smooth, energetic and fun loving quartet breathes new life into some of our favorite swing standards and rock and roll classics. Hailing from Southern Indiana, these members come from a long line of championship quartets. Soundproof is the 1997 Indiana and Kentucky Cardinal District Champions. All members live in Evansville, Indiana.
