Island Chordsmen Plus

Island Chordsmen Plus The Island Chordsmen Plus represent the Barbershop Harmony Society on San Juan Island. We are the official BHS chapter. Join us!

Our mission is to promote harmonious singing wherever and whenever it is appropriate in our community. We are a "mixed" Barbershop group; we sing in the men's range, but women can fit right in, especially if you have a naturally low voice. We sing songs in 4-part a ca****la arrangements from "the old songs" to some of the newer ones.

Carolyn Ann Spence passed away peacefully among family in Florida after a rapid and unforgiving battle with an atypical form of Parkinson’s disease. In just over a year, the illness took her independence—but never her spirit. Those who knew Carolyn might say she didn’t lose the battle so much ...

''Barbershop Harmony Society

Today is officially Society Honorary Lifetime Member Dick Van D**e's 100th birthday! Happy birthday, Dick, thank you for all the joy you have brought to our lives, and for being a true friend of barbershop. May all your renditions of Happy Birthday To You be in four-part harmony.
Enjoy this look back to the 2009 International Convention in Anaheim when comedy icon Conan O'Brien had a brief brush with fame and got to meet the legend himself right in the middle of the Harmony Marketplace. Rumor has it that while Conan and his team were filming a bit for his (then) The Tonight Show, he heard that Dick Van D**e was at the convention and asked if he could meet him, so their respective teams helped coordinate a quick meetup.
It was a pretty cool moment for everyone who was there. There's also a rumor that the produced bit of Conan's visit to Anaheim International is floating around out there somewhere ''
