Keith Harris, Lead, joined the Barbershop Harmony Society at the age of 9. Some of his early heroes include the Chiefs of Staff, Chicago Chord of Trade, and Chordiac Arrest (members from each of these groups coached Keith’s quartets). At the age of 12, Keith became a front row member of the New Tradition chorus and won two international chorus medals. Keith sang lead in the 1991 LOL District Champion quartet the Family Ties with his father (Roger) and brother (Paul) and sang bass in the 1997 International Collegiate Quartet Champion quartet Freefall (also with his brother Paul). Today Keith is a professional opera singer living in NYC and has performed with Seattle Opera, Santa Fe Opera, Opera Theater of St. Louis, Lyric en Mer in France and many more. “Barbershop offered me an amazing foundation for my life. It is an honor to return home and give back to an organization that has given me so much!”
