The Four Freshmen

Classic and sophisticated yet perpetually fresh and approachable, the Four Freshmen wind back the clock with an authentic but energetic, blast-from-the-past sound and style. One of the United States’s most enduring vocal groups, the Four Freshmen have been bringing a jazz sensibility to the classic American songbook in their own special way since their inception in 1948. With a sound centered on a tight four-part vocal blend—like barbershop, but jazzier—the group delivers an exciting take on every tune they call, whether dreamy, crooner-style ballads or swinging, up-tempo arrangements that make a quartet feel like a big band. Current members Bob Ferreira, Jake Baldwin, Tommy Boynton, and Chris Peters continue a musical legacy begun more than 75 years ago with a vibrant energy that makes the music feel brand-new during every performance.
