"We are men of good will who enjoy singing and entertaining in quartets and as a chorus with quality barbershop music. We are willing to make a commitment to each other and to our program." (HHT Mission Statement)
Hometown Harmony Tradition (HHT), a Barbershop Harmony Society chorus (formerly the Society for the Preservation and Encouragement of Barbershop Quartet Singing in America) of the Land O' Lakes Region, and based in Plymouth, Wisconsin, is under the direction of Brad Charles. Founded in 1970, HHT is currently comprised of twenty-five men from five Wisconsin counties. HHT performs a variety of music including spiritual, patriotic, comedy and show tunes along with traditional barbershop songs, a unique American music genre. Hometown Harmony Tradition exists to enrich lives through singing.
Hometown Harmony Tradition is available to sing for parties, patriotic celebrations, picnics, community events, church services, and the like. In addition to the chorus, HHT offers two quality, Barbershop Harmony Society registered quartets; "Tarnation" and "Vaguely Familiar."
