August 24, 2021Excellent experience!
I had an excellent experience with The Northsiders! I booked them to show up as a surprise for a bridal shower and they were a huge hit! The communication prior to the event was great and they were flexible in terms of meeting the specific needs of what we wanted to do. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a barbershop quartet group in the Chicago area.

December 11, 2019Overall, good.
The Northsiders entertained our clients with their wonderful voices and talent. I was a little disappointed because they asked for wireless mics and then didn't use them. This cost our firm $300 to have them there at their request.

Thank you for having us, Susan! We did use the wireless mics most of the time. Sorry if they weren’t loud enough! We hope to work with you again.

August 27, 2019These guys were FANTASTIC!!!!!
Came early to the event. They were all in costume as we had previously discussed before the event. Magnificent harmonizers!! Super professional yet lots of fun. The Norhsiders are a class act and I would highly recommend them.

March 13, 2017Wonderful group!
We had the Northsiders perform as a surprise for my bosses 65th birthday at our office. They rearranged their schedules to accommodate our request, showed up on time, and kept me in the loop with everything going on. Their performance was outstanding! Our patients and my boss really got a kick out of the performance and we were all thoroughly impressed by their talent! We will definitely keep them in mind for future events! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
