A cappella group to fill Franklin church with song

Land of the Sky Barbershop Chorus will perform at 3 p.m. Aug. 19 in Tartan Hall at First Presbyterian Church in downtown Franklin.

With more than 30 members, the Asheville-based, all-male chorus sings lively a cappella renditions of old-time and contemporary favorites in four-part harmony. The program has a comedic Olympic theme and features many classic hits including “Anything You Can Do I Can Do Better,” “By The Beautiful Sea” and “Scarborough Fair,” with dueling quartets, costumes, props and a heavy sprinkling of rib-tickling humor throughout.

Complimentary ice cream sundaes will be served. Admission is by donation; $5 is suggested.

Land of the Sky Chorus is a chapter of SPEBSQSA, one of about 800 society chapters in North America.

First Presbyterian Church is on Church Street at Harrison Avenue, a block north of Franklin’s Main Street. The performance is presented by the Arts Council of Macon County.
