We specialize in family-friendly entertainment with a robust, genre-spanning repertoire—all delivered in our signature all-American barbershop style.

About
Craig, Jen, Paul, and Steve are the latest evolution of a barbershop quartet that began all the way back in 1969 in London, Ohio, originally known as The Kiwanis Quartet—or more affectionately, the Four K's. Craig, now the group’s “elder statesman,” joined in 1998 as the Tenor during the group’s Music Men era. In 2005, he was joined by Paul, a versatile Bass/Baritone, who was recruited by the group’s founder and longtime Baritone, John Ewart. Together, Craig (now singing Baritone/Bass) and Paul anchored the Music Men of London for well over a decade. In 2019, the group welcomed Jen as their new Tenor—just in time for the Christmas season—which sparked the idea that it might be time for a name refresh. That transition was completed in 2020 when Steve came aboard as the new Lead, and with his arrival, the quartet officially dropped “London” from the name. Now known as Music Men & Jen, this mixed barbershop quartet blends tradition with fun, harmony with humor, and brings their signature sound to audiences across central Ohio and beyond—wherever their next gig may be.
