WHAT
A barbershop quartet from the Downeasters Chorus will sing a 4-part a cappella love song for your designated Sweetie, and give this very important (and lucky) person a rose.
WHERE
We deliver Singing Valentines at workplaces, homes, restaurants, senior centers, events — you tell us. We deliver in southern coastal Maine, roughly from Kennebunkport to Freeport, and from the shore to about 25 miles inland.

WHO WE ARE
The Downeasters are a 55-voice male barbershop chorus. We perform numerous times throughout the year in the greater Portland Maine area — at our annual shows, at festivals and holiday events, and at fundraisers for food pantries, Habitat for Humanity, and other charitable organizations.
We compete in the regional competitions of the Barbershop Harmony Society. In last 10 years, we have qualified three times to represent New England and the Maritime Provinces in the Society’s International Finals Competition. Only about 30 choruses qualify each year for this finals competition, by prevailing in a series of qualifying competitions. There are more than 700 Harmony Society choruses in the U.S. and Canada and many more overseas.
