Artistic License is a Barbershop quartet with a smooth sound, deep musicality and a lighthearted, professional style that audiences easily respond to. We sing songs from a wide range of origins and eras. From Tin Pan Alley to the Irish highlands. From jazz to Disney to contemporary pop or christian rock. Our choice of songs is guided by looking for songs that are meaningful and distinctive. We enjoy finely crafted melodies and lyrics and search for arrangements that will make our audience say "I love that song".
Dedicated to furthering the barbershop style and making it accessible to audiences everywhere, Artistic License is the 2011 champions of the Far Western District of the Barbershop Harmony Society, an honor won in our very first attempt! The quartet earned a place as one of the Top 10 quartets in the world, a distinction earned at the International Barbershop Harmony Championships, which included groups from as far away as Sweden, Spain, England, Australia and New Zealand.
Based in the greater Sacramento, CA area, Artistic License pleases audiences throughout the country, and we’d love to sing for you sometime soon!
