Posted

The Bucks County Country Gentlemen a cappella chorus performs its 47th annual show, “Don’t Touch That Dial,” at 1 and 7 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 12, presented by Lenape Middle School at 313 W. State St., Doylestown.

The Bucks County Country Gentlemen is a close harmony a capella chorus that is part of the Barbershop Harmony Society. During the show, the audience will be entertained by the chorus and its quartets, with a few songs from Central Bucks School District student ensembles.

Tickets are available the day of show at the door, in advance at 570-543-2224, barbertix@gmail.com or at eventbrite.com (search for “dial”). Tickets are: $20 for adults; $15 for seniors; $5 for first responders and children: and free with ID for active duty and veterans. Find out more at buckscountybarbershop.com.

The nonprofit group has been singing at Doylestown community events and fundraisers since the 1970s and weathered the pandemic. Its three-dozen members from the surrounding area continue to sing at events such as the Doylestown Car Show and “Brown Bag It With the Arts,” and compete at a cappella conventions. The singers rehearse each Tuesday evening at Lenape Middle School during the school year and Central Bucks Senior Center during the summer (guests are welcome).

This year’s show has a novel theme. Roz and Mo buy a new colossal big screen TV with artificial intelligence. The TV has a mind of its own, and doesn’t always understand what the couple asks. Will they be overjoyed or overwhelmed? Find out by attending this larger-than-life-sized show. Through a cappella singing and family-friendly humor, the show appeals to audiences of all ages and the songs span multiple genres, but always with close harmonies and joyful expression. For those who attended last year’s show, the songs for the upcoming show will be mostly different.

Safety guidelines for the state and Central Bucks School District will be followed.
