International Award-Winning Barbershop Quartet Launches Second Album

Winners of numerous national and international barbershop music awards, the Musical Island Boys are launching Once Upon a Time, their second album. As an a capella quartet, the Pacific Island singing sensation has delivered four-part harmonic excellence and high-energy performances to audiences worldwide. In 2006, the Musical Island Boys created history by securing the International Championship Collegiate Gold in Indianapolis, becoming the first quartet from outside of the United States to capture the prestigious trophy. This year, the quartet made their debut in the International Open Men’s division in Anaheim (California), becoming the first non-American quartet in the Barbershop Harmony Society’s 70 years, to make the Top 10 finals on debut. They received the Dealer’s Choice Award for the highest scoring quartet on debut. Once upon a Time will be launched on Wednesday 9 December in Wellington by Honorable Georgina te Heuheu, the Minister of Pacific Island Affairs and Associate Minister of Maori Affairs. The album can be purchased on line through the Musical Island Boys’ website.
