STAMPEDE CITY CHORUS

PERFORMERS:

Johnny Thorson:  Johnny Thorson has been a performer on the plectrum banjo since he was 18 years old.  He assembled his first concert troupe in 1979 after seeing the famed jazz violinist, Stephane Grapelli in concert.  Johnny has performed as an opening act for Bob Hope, Teresa Brewer and comedian David Steinberg. The description "Captain Banjo" came in 1970 when he put on a yachting Captain's hat to cover a receding hairline.

Trademark:  In 2008, this quartet won the Div III (Alberta) Quartet Contest and will be bringing their quality entertainment and humor to the show.  Lead: Darcy Fraser, Tenor: Doug Marwood, Bass: Doug Robertson, Bari: Kevin Robertson

Close Encounter:  Close Encounter made their first appearance at the Division III Contest in May, 2006 and they have turned a "brief encounter" into an opportunity to sing at the District Conventions in 2006 & 2007.  Lead: Keith Sveinson, Tenor: Leon Buchamer, Bass: Chris van der Baaren, Bari: Doug Spensley

GOLD:  GOLD is a local Calgary barbershop quartet whose members love to sing harmony to the good old songs and some contemporary ones that are only forty years old. We perform a variety of music styles and include some comedy as well.  Lead: Pat Sproule, Tenor: Wes Hartman, Bass: Bob Hughes, Bari: Rob Rae

Stampede City Chorus:  Thirty guys who love to sing and hope that you will join us for our 53nd Annual Show!
