Oak City Sound

Oak City Sound We are a 4-part acapella group with both men's and mixed (men's & women's) choruses that take pride in great vocals sung in the barbershop style. Love to sing?

Join us. Love to hear great music? Hire us for a performance, or attend our concert. Oak City Sound selects music from a catalog of popular songs from the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, 90’s and now, as well as famous musicals and movies. We will always stay true to our identity of barbershop, however we will venture out to works of contemporary a cappella, choral and doo-wop to reach a greater audience in the Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, and Cary areas.

20 singers from the Oak City Sound Chorus performed for nurses at Rex Hospital last night, delivering cookies and singing a few songs at each station. We value the daily efforts of these healthcare workers and hope our gesture showed our appreciation.

Late last month, we celebrated the 50th anniversary of our chorus - formerly known as the "General Assembly" and now known as the "Oak City Sound Chorus". We celebrated with good food, good stories and - of course - lots of good singing!

We're inviting all singers - or aspiring singers - men and women, to join us as we embark on our next 50 years! To learn more about our next meeting and/or performances, just click on the link below - our Meetup page:

In case you haven’t heard, last Friday (October 17th), our dear friend Nic Cols passed away after a 15-month battle with brain cancer. He was a stalwart member of Oak City Sound, from The General Assembly days, serving the chapter in so many ways. He will be greatly missed. It is a comfort to know that he is finally at peace. Our thoughts go out to his loving family.

Nic has had a very long history with the RTP Chapter and many other chapters around the US. He was a NC Harmony Brigader as well and served on the board for that organization as well as the RTP Chapter. He was also the lead in multiple quartets, the most recent being 7th Dimension (and a fill-in version, Another Dimension).

A memorial service for Nic will be held on Monday, November 3 at 2pm, at Vintage Church, downtown Raleigh, NC.

Calling all singers – come one, come all!

The Oak City Sound Chorus, an a ca****la chorus based here in the Raleigh, NC area, would once again love to have both men AND women sing with us this fun, festive Holiday Season. Come join us!

We are inviting YOU to be a singer in this year's "Oak City Sound Holiday Chorus", for any, and all, of our public/private performances, including at the Halle Cultural Arts Center in downtown Apex,NC, on
Tuesday, December 16th, 2025. *

All you have to do is rehearse with us at least four out of six Mondays, starting October 13th through November 17th. Each rehearsal runs from 7:30 pm to 8:30 pm. There’s no additional obligation or commitment. Just have fun!

The first rehearsal is at the Glenaire retirement community, 4000 Glenaire Cir, Cary, NC., starting at 7:30pm. Just come in the front entrance and we’ll have people there to greet you.

We will provide sheet music and learning tracks to help you along. All music is 4-part a ca****la, and you can sing whatever part you are most comfortable singing, with lots of help and encouragement from Oak City Sound Chorus members.

The songs planned for the OCS Holiday Chorus are Carol Of The Bells, Holly Jolly Christmas, I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas, and
Mele Kalikimaka.

If you have questions, feel free to send an e-mail to: [email protected].

* In addition to our public performance at the Halle Cultural Arts Center, we are booked with private performances all four Mondays before Christmas, and you are welcome to join us at any of those, as we will be singing some of these songs at those performances, as well.
