Today was the last day for the Barbershop Society to have its headquarters in Kenosha, Wisconsin as, after almost 70 years, the Society closed its doors as it prepares to move to Nashville, Tennessee. Several years in the making the move was nevertheless a sad affair as many long-time employees will not be making the move and are resigning from the organization. The Society will be closed for business this next week as the moving trucks haul everything to Nashville and will partially reopen after Labor Day. There are several staff positions still open so if anybody has always wanted to both work in barbershop music and live in Nashville (and that does sound quite enticing) then now is the time to apply. We wish the Society every success in their new location.The Barbershop Harmony Society used to be known as SPEBSQSA.

Although the Society is properly referred to as the Barbershop Harmony Society, the legal name is still The Society for the Preservation and Encouragement of Barber Shop Quartet Singing in America, Inc. or SPEBSQSA, Inc.
They accept members of all ages, not just retirees.
