P's & Q's - A Mixed Barbershop Quartet

One evening in the fall of 2000, Brooke and Chuck Packevicz and Linda and John Quesnel were sitting around a table at an afterglow.  They experimented with putting two male and two female voices together and found that it resulted in a remarkably exciting sound.  This was the beginning of “P’s & Q’s”.

The P’s & Q’s collectively have more than 120 years of Barbershop singing experience.  Among their many individual accomplishments are numerous quartet and chorus championships, International contest appearances, chorus directing, coaching, and a fifth place International quartet medal.

In this mix of voices, each singer is challenged to sing a different part from what he or she normally sings.  Brooke, who is usually a bass, sings lead – John, a baritone, sings bass – Chuck, a versatile tenor, sings baritone – and Linda has moved up from lead to tenor.

At various times during the year, The P’s & Q’s reside in Rhode Island, Cape Cod, New York and Florida.  They have entertained audiences from New England to Florida, and are featured in a guest performance on the recently-released Coastline Show Chorus CD.  P’s & Q’s hope you will enjoy their unique style of Barbershop harmony.

Joe Connelly, Three time International Quartet Champion and our Coach, writes: "You will be hard pressed to find a richer, fuller mixed quartet sound anywhere on the planet! I'm sure you will enjoy their Big, chord-bustin', wall-to-wall sound.  Keep up the great singing!"

To quote (Doc) Richard Sause, baritone of the 1967 International Champion Four Statesmen: “You’ve gotta hear this group…my favorite mixed quartet!"

And from Frank Lanza, tenor of the 1967 International Champion Four Statesmen: "These guys are having too much fun, wow what a sound!"
