Response from Balancing Act Quartet:
The venue was beautiful, and everyone seemed to be having a great time! We really enjoyed singing for you, and were so glad it worked out even though we had to run afterwards for another gig! Thanks for your hospitality and we hope to work with you again!
Four Lovely Ladies dressed in their finest flapper attire entertain over 500 at Fosterfields Model-T Event in Morristown on Saturday Aug.25. Strolling through the living history farm and stopping at varies locations to harmonize wonderful and varied selections from the '20s. As a Barber Shop Quartet, "The Balancing Act" are a delightful surprise, "ladies" mixing among the antique cars, as their voices filled the air. Once indoors the Willows, our old manor home, the acoustics perfected their performance of patriotic and light-hearted tunes.

Response from Balancing Act Quartet:
We had a WONDERFUL time at this event! The people attending were so responsive, and it was obvious that everyone had a very good time displaying and seeing all of the vintage autos, as well as enjoying the historic farm setting. It was a performance we will never forget!
"Balancing Act" ladies quartet were fantastic. Great harmony and the people at our Community fair loved them. We will have them back to our fair next year by popular demand !!1

I hired The Balancing Act Quartet for my husband's surprise 60th birthday party. Everything went off without a hitch as far as hiring the quartet. I have been following barbershop music for decades and also am knowledgeable in music. I had the opportunity to listen to them on YouTube first. Having hired barbershop quartet's in the past I know that perfection isn't necessarily part of the deal. Happy to tell you they couldn't have been better. Their harmony and presentation were both excellent. They even learned a new song I had requested just for my husband. Their singing brought tears to our eyes. You can't go wrong hiring the balancing Act Quartet!

What to Expect
When people listen to us, they uniformly say that our music is fun and we look like we love what we do! We can tailor our performances to your event--from just a couple of songs for a special anniversary, birthday, or event to a whole show, or strolling "background" entertainment at a party or special venue! We have a number of patriotic and holiday songs in our repertoire as well, for those special times of year.
About
Our quartet formed in 2010, and we are all members of Liberty Oak Chorus in Freehold NJ, an Internationally ranked women's barbershop chorus. Singing Tenor is Pam Pezzullo, with Mary Walaszek on Lead, Jennifer Wiseman on Baritone, and Jan Rubino as our Bass. We sing all kinds of music, from the 1930s through the 1980s, all a-cappella and in 4-part harmony. We require no audio equipment or special set-up--we can sing in any location, from outdoor events to meeting rooms to restaurants or wherever music would add to that special event!
Additional Booking Notes
We can sing anywhere, with no need for lighting, sound equipment, or any special arrangements. However, if it is a large outdoor venue, we could probably use a microphone so that any MC work is not lost.
We are currently in the process of reorganizing and are not accepting gigs until hopefully the Holiday Season 2020.
