Who are we? We're a group of four vibrant, dedicated, and musical women who love to sing together! All of us come from different backgrounds and have a variety of talents and interests between us, but the one thing that binds us together is our love of acapella harmony.
Read on to find out a little bit about what each of us brings to the quartet...
|
Nicole Walker ~ Tenor
With a Masters degree in music theory from UBC, Nicole does a lot of arranging and adapting of Fandango's repertoire. She has been involved in singing groups since childhood, but particularly loves the intimacy of a quartet setting, where each voice has a distinct role. The tenor part generally consists of the "high notes" but occasionally allows Nicole to take a melody now and then.

Rose Epp ~ Bass
Rose has been singing her entire life, a passion which was inspired during piano lessons that turned into vocal lessons which led to community theatre musical roles. Singing bass for over 10 years, Rose has worked to develop that rich, resonant low voice which is so essential to barbershop singing. She provides the foundation for the other three voices to build upon.

Cammi MacKinlay ~ Baritone
Cammi has been singing baritone for over 15 years, and currently holds the prestigous title of "Vice President" of Sweet Adelines International. The most difficult of the four parts, her baritone makes the chords gel and create that characteristic barbershop "ring". Cammi's wealth of experience, not to mention her costume design skills, make her an invaluable member of this quartet.

Jan Carley ~ Lead
With over 10 years singing barbershop harmony and years of training in musical theatre, Jan brings her own unique theatricality to the quartet. Jan sings the lead which allows her beautiful melody voice to shine through. She also contributes her tireless organizational and marketing skills to the group, and in her "spare time" is a Certified Executive Coach.
