The Parson Brown Singers - Harmony Is Our Bag, Baby!
Philadelphia & The Main Line, PA

Founded in 2001, The Parson Brown Singers have been captivating audiences with their masterful harmonies and dynamic performances. Their beginnings in holiday entertainment quickly evolved into a wide-ranging repertoire that spans everything from sophisticated wedding ceremonies to high-energy corporate flash mobs and a cappella recording sessions. While their name pays tribute to the legendary snowman-priest in "Winter Wonderland," their sound is a year-round sensation.

In 2011, their star ascended when the world-renowned Young Money Cash Money Billionaires enlisted them for a holiday campaign, where they performed a cappella renditions of hits by Nicki Minaj, Drake, Lil Wayne, and DJ Khaled. The group’s unique ability to fuse modern hits with vocal precision captivated audiences and cemented their reputation as style benders.

Relocating to Philadelphia in 2018, the group’s blend of talent grew even stronger. Comprising professional jazz singers, musical theater artists, and opera singers, The Parson Brown Singers bring a wealth of experience and versatility to every performance. With many members also performing with prestigious organizations like Philadelphia Opera and Opera Delaware, their classically trained voices add depth and brilliance to their genre-crossing shows.

Career highlights include providing vocals on tracks for George Korein and The Spleen (2019), as well as separate contributions to the holiday album First Snow (2020). In addition, their involvement as actors in Nino Man's "Downtown" video (2021) and their vocal work for Broadway’s Winnie the Pooh (2022) further showcase their versatility and wide-ranging appeal.

Whether delivering beloved Christmas holiday favorites, heart-stopping jazz and pop arrangements, or stunning classical performances, The Parson Brown Singers leave audiences enchanted with their vibrant energy, striking costumes, and unforgettable sound.
