Q. Where did barbershop originate?
A. Barbershop is a uniquely American music style/art form, created at the turn of the century by ear harmonizers, or “woodshedders,” who sang without benefit of printed arrangements. It is largely the old songs because the kinds of melodies that are best adapted to the style are those written in the heyday of Tin Pan Alley, from 1890 to 1920. Most Vaudeville shows had a barbershop quartet, although the singers did not use that name.
