National Barbershop Music Appreciation Day
Can you hear the sweet music? National Barbershop Music Appreciation Day celebrates a cappella style of music and honors one of the country's musical societies on July 13th.

Barbershop music's roots lie in African American history and their traditional improvisational music from the 1800s. Folk songs and hymns performed in four parts contributed to the four-part harmony of barbershop music.
Although many of us may associate a cappella music with a quartet, entire choirs also sing barbershop. People of all ages and from every ethnicity are also included in barbershop clubs. Their performances can be heard at local events or national championships. The music is often upbeat, spiritual, or simply amusing, and it includes songs with clear lyrics and easily singable melodies.
Women of all ages are united across the country, with organizations like the Sweet Adelines, which were established on July 13, 1945, bringing women of all ages together. Crows are swooning to fun tunes thanks to the blending of their voices. The women also compete, much like the men's clubs. They tune their voices and rehearse while also performing locally.
