An old school or 1890 era Barbershop Quartet complete with Vests, Arm Garters, Straw Hats and Spats. Our lively banter will have you rolling in the aisles. We are the Barbershop Harmony Society's Far Western District Champions and have won the Standing Ovation Award the last two years in a row. We can entertain you for 20 minutes or 45 minutes, and anything in between. We have received the following accolades: "Wonderfully entertaining," "so professional," "great voices," "you were the highlight of our luncheon." Not only are we uniquely musical, but we are a complete entertainment package. We will make your event most memorable.
You will hire us back again and again.

February 26, 2026Excellent set list, and they went above and beyond with their outfits and all the little comedy bits they did during the show. And most importantly, their voices sounded incredible!

April 29, 2025Velvet Frogs were amazing! From the time of booking, they were easy to communicate and friendly, punctual, and most importantly put on a fantastic show! 12/10 would recommend!

September 20, 2024We used the Velvet Frogs for a charitable event on 9/14 and they were wonderful! They made the event extra special as they serenaded people when they walked in and their voices gave a wonderful richness to our cocktail hour on the lawn. Plus they even announced the impending closing of the silent auction on our loudspeaker beautifully! Thank you!

July 3, 2022The Velvet Frogs Barbershop Quartet were a hit at our special Fathers Day Brunch Celebration. They sang back and forth between 2 venues at Linda Valley Villa Retirement Community. Their humor was great..the residents and guests enjoyed them .

We wear the traditional Red Vest, Arm Garters, Bow Tie, Spats and Straw Hat most of the time. However, for a wedding, our Black Suits are more appropriate. We actually have several costumes including an old suit that Sam made for us. The only problem is that the pants are too long! We'll sing about it for you.
We often sing Happy Birthday combining with it our favorite of "You Can't Do The Things You Used To Do, 35 Years Ago". Always a crowd favorite.
Between songs the Frogs love to share corny song titles and yes we have lots. Like, "I Took My Girl To The Corn Field And Kissed Her Between The Ears" or "What Will You Do With The Butter Mother When The Rolls Are Called Up Yonder?"
We have fun and make certain that everyone else does too.
The Velvet Frogs have been together for 16 years but individually have been singing Barbershop harmony since the early 1960's and & '70's! 3 of the 4 of us are 2nd generation Quartet singers as our Dads were all members of the Barbershop Harmony Society although at that time it was known as the S.P.E.B.S.Q.S.A. Anyway, we specialize in the old songs that were popular from1890 thru 1930.
We know the art form of Barbershop Quartet singing and would love to entertain at your party.
Sing-Cerely, the Velvet Frogs.
The great part about the Frogs is that we need nothing as we sing a cappella. We stopped bringing our piano as it was to hard to get on the airplane. And unless it is a large auditorium or special outside venue we do not require amplification. We did have a mic when performing at the Hollywood Bowl. And the next day in the newspaper the revue read....."The Barbershop Quartet was Slick and Corny". That is us, Slick and Corny.
