UpGray’d Quartet Invited to Perform the National Anthem in Concord

UpGray’d Quartet, the Monadnock region’s dynamic a cappella ensemble known for its rich barbershop harmonies and spirited performances, has been extended a special honor: an invitation to perform the National Anthem at the New Hampshire State House opening session in Concord on Thursday, April 23rd, at 9:00 or 10:00 AM.  All four are members of the Keene Cheshiremen Chorus.

UpGray’d Quartet has built a reputation across the region for its vibrant sound, heartfelt musicality, and commitment to preserving and celebrating the barbershop style. Their buy-line, “Everyone’s lookin’ UP… to UpGray’d, that is!”, reflects the group’s upbeat energy and their mission to bring joy, connection, and harmony to every audience they meet.

This invitation from the State House recognizes not only the quartet’s musical excellence but also their ongoing contributions to community events, local celebrations, and public gatherings throughout New Hampshire. From lively performances at local venues to appearances at civic and cultural events, UpGray’d Quartet has become a beloved musical presence across the Granite State.

“We are deeply honored to be invited to sing the National Anthem at the State House,” the quartet agreed.  “It’s a privilege to share our music in such a historic and meaningful setting, and we look forward to representing our community with pride.”

The performance will take place during the official opening of the legislative session, a moment steeped in tradition and civic significance. Attendees can expect a stirring rendition of the National Anthem delivered in UpGray’d Quartet’s signature four‑part harmony.

UpGray’d Quartet continues to expand its performance calendar, bringing classic and popular barbershop sound to audiences of all ages.
