The Newfangled Four is a barbershop quartet from Southern California who have become viral sensations with their unique music.

The quartet is made up of Jackson, Ryan, Jake, and Joey, and they stand out from other groups like them by mixing comedy into their songs. This has caused them to find success very quickly!

“Formed over two years ago, this foursome quickly bonded through their involvements with the Westminster Chorus and Masters of Harmony, two well-renowned choruses in the Barbershop Harmony Society,” the group wrote on their website. “Each with their own levels of musical and barbershop experience, it didn’t take long for this quartet to start building a repertoire of challenging, yet exciting arrangements.”

“The quartet was fortunate enough to become the 2013 International Collegiate Barbershop Quartet Champions and the 2013 Far Western District Quartet Champions,” they continued. “In 2014, they received the Dealer’s Choice Award for being the highest scoring debut quartet of the year, and in July 2015, placed 14th in the International Quartet Contest. These guys are always looking to entertain audiences of all kinds, and they are constantly striving to be the next best thing!”

In the video below this story, you’ll see them perform their version of Smash Mouth’s “All Star” at the 2018 Barbershop Harmony Society International Convention. The video was just put up four days ago, but it’s already been viewed over 57,000 times!

“I need a minute….. this is……….. peak barbershop,” one internet user wrote, with another adding, “Wow. This was unexpectedly inspirational.”

“That was a sincere delight, as you guys always are,” added a third.
