Based out of Baltimore, MD, Pratt Street Power has been together since 2016, when in their first appearance, they won the 2016 International Youth Barbershop Quartet Contest in Nashville, TN! Since their early success, the quartet has cherished many show performances and youth/educational events and continued to earn accolades -becoming the 2020 Mid-Atlantic District Champions, and placing in the top 10 quartets at the Barbershop Harmony Society’s International Convention in 2019 and 2023.
Vince (tenor), Ed (lead), Ben (baritone), and Darren (bass), first met through the Maryland State Boychoir, the Atlantic Harmony Brigade, and Barbershop Chorus Parkside Harmony. Though they all have classical music training, they also enjoy many other kinds of music including jazz, which is a highlight of their repertoire. All four members also have arranged music for the quartet, and are grateful to fellow barbershoppers who have arranged for them including Melody Hine, Theo Hicks, Aaron Dale, and David Wright, to name a few.
One of Pratt Street Power’s main goals is to support the Harmony Foundation’s mission of enriching lives through singing by attending youth outreach events for young singers and encouraging young people to sing. They would love to be considered for your next event; please inquire via the contact page!
