The Confederates

The Confederates were a barbershop quartet that performed in the 1950s and 1960s.

The group formed in September 1953 at a SPEBSQSA chapter meeting in Memphis, Tennessee. They consisted of:

The Confederates took first place in the 1956 SPEBSQSA International Quartet Championship after finishing second the year before. They were notable not only for their championship-calibur harmonies, but also for performing in Confederate officer uniforms.

The group stopped performing in 1969.
