WE SPEAK A CAPPELLA HARMONY

What is a Tidelander?

A Tidelander is a singer in the Houston Tidelanders, an all male a cappella performance chorus. Each Tidelander auditions as a tenor, lead (melody), baritone, or bass to be a dues paying member of our chapter. We provide many opportunities for our Tidelander men to gain experience performing in front of audiences as well as at competitions. 

Show Attendee Quotes

I thought "barbershop" would be like what I'd imagined in my head. I wasn't sure that I would enjoy the experience but it was very modern and different from what I expected. There were no straw hats or garter armbands and the guys sounded amazing.

I've been following and attending shows for the last 25 years. I always leave a show reliving hearing my Dad, brother, and friends harmonizing together at family get togethers. It's always a pleasure listening to people who are really good and enjoy singing. It's music that never grows old!

Sing with us!

The language we speak is ensemble barbershop harmony. If you love music and singing like we do – you’ll enjoy your experience singing with us. If you’ve sung in a quartet or would like to sing in a quartet that’s a possibility. We get many opportunities throughout the year to perform in front of live audiences. 

Our Harmony Virtues

Sing the right notes at the right time

We work hard to develop our singing voices, extend our range, be on pitch and in tune with the rest of the chorus. We strive to be better harmony singers through learning.

If you want to learn how to sing and match pitch with other singers, come work with us! We’ll teach you how to sing the first note in tune, matching pitch, and how to learn from other vocal parts. Learn more about why singing with us will help you.

Musical Education

We practice hard as individuals to learn our music well enough to be able to rehearse and improve our musicality as a chorus (3 hours on Monday nights). Our Director, Patrick McAlexander, and our Music Team provide musical education and training. We learn to sing better in the form of sectionals, off-site retreats, and Personal Vocal Instruction (PVI).
