Now retired, Forefathers was one of Hobart’s most successful mens a cappella competition quartet has an exciting repertoire of four-part close harmony songs, dedicated to those who love life and living it to the full.
Comprised of Rhett Knight (Bari), Graeme Bray (Lead), Ric Finlay (Tenor) and Paul Adams (Bass) the quartet members have varied experiences in other musical forms but love the camaraderie and musical purity of the Barbershop style that singing legend Deke Sharon calls "the Black belt of a cappella".
Formed in 2017, Forefathers' netted their first medal at the 2018 Barbershop Harmony Australia competition in Adelaide in September 2018, with a Bronze medal in the Senior Competition, and a credible 14th place in the Open Competition.  They foolowed this with another Bronze in 2019, Silver in 2022 and a BHA 3rd place (Pan Pac 4th) in 2023
From heartfelt ballads to smooth swing, Forefathers will thrill you with the ringing chords and emotions that make this style so engaging.
