The Four Freshmen

The Four Freshmen were one of the top vocal groups of the 1950’s and formed the bridge between ‘40’s ensembles like Mel-Tones and harmony-based rock & roll bands such as The Beach Boys and the Manhattan Transfer. Founded by brothers Ross and Don Barbour in 1948 as freshmen at Butler University, the other two original members included their cousin Bob Flanigan and Hal Kratzsch.

Now in their 64th year of performance, The Four Freshmen continue to bring their unique brand of vocal harmony to audiences worldwide. The band is a multiple Grammy-nominated quartet known for blending open-harmony jazz arrangements with big band vocal sounds, founded in the barbershop tradition. Although the group has seen lineup changes through the years, the band continues strong, performing for audiences internationally.

Their first hit single was “It’s a Blue World,” released in 1952, followed by further success with “Mood Indigo,” “Day By Day,” “Graduation Day,” and many more. The current lineup features Brian Eichenberger on lead vocals and guitar; Curtis Calderone on vocals, trumpet and flugelhorn; Vince Johnson on vocals and bass; and Bob Ferreira on vocals and drums.
