The Granite Statesmen Barbershop Chorus, members of the Nashua, NH Chapter of SPEBSQSA, Inc, the men’s Barbershop Harmony Society, was formed in 1955. Representing over 50 towns in New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Maine and New York these men assemble each Wednesday evening in Nashua to sing and perform in that unique American musical art form of four part a cappella singing known as ‘barbershop.’ These accomplished gentlemen are eleven, time and current Chorus Champions of the Northeastern District, one of sixteen districts throughout the US and Canada. The Chapter prides itself in being active members of the Arts community in the Greater Nashua area and are Charter Members of the Nashua Arts and Humanities Coalition, a group dedicated to the promotion of the performing and visual arts. The Granite Statesmen perform an Annual Spring Show in Nashua; a Singing Valentines fund-raiser; and two Christmas Cabaret shows. For the last several years, the Granite Statesmen have been featured performers at the Newmarket Heritage Festival; at the Manchester Union Leader’s Annual Santa Fund Drive Kick-off and at the Nashua’s Downtown Winter Holiday Stroll. In addition, the Chorus is involved in several regional and national competitions having finished in the Top Twenty-Five of all Barbershop Harmony Society choruses (about 825) the last seven years in competitions held in Kansas City; Nashville; Portland, OR; Montreal; Louisville; Salt Lake City and Indianapolis. The Chorus has completed three recordings: "Ain't That a Kick in the Head"; "Just Add Snow"; and “A Grand Old Tradition". Click here to purchase recordings. The Granite Statesmen are under the direction of Steve Tramack, a Nashua native. The Chapter invites any interested male singers to join them on a Wednesday evening at the Senior Activity Center, 70 Temple St, Nashua at 7:30PM .
