"Welcome to a World of Harmony" |
 What is Music? Music is something you hear that opens
a window within yourself that stirs the memories and emotions back to a time when you may have first heard the song. Listening
to music can remind you of warm Summer breezes, a walk on the beach, a romantic evening, a quiet time alone and . . . Music is like a magic carpet ride that
can take you anywhere you want to go in your mind. It gets your feet tapping and your body swaying before you even realize
what's happening. What is Harmony? Harmony is the part of music that you
feel. The music of the Beach Boys, The Eagles, The Beatles, Simon and Garfunkel, The Everly Brothers, The Moody Blues
and other famous bands and duets all have one main thing in common - Harmony! You 'Listen' to music but you 'Feel' harmony.
Harmony is the blending of instruments and voices at different levels to create that 'magic' feeling you get inside when you
feel it. Musical Harmonies can sooth the soul and put a smile on your face. What is Retro Harmony? Combining over 50+ years of musicianship
along with 2/3 part vocal harmonies, there is no better musical solution to make your next special event a success. Your

entertaining show that seamlessly takes you from beautiful ballads, pop to rock & roll. With an obvious, genuine respect for each other from being together so long, it's apparent that the Retro Harmony
