The Town & Country Four distinguish themselves as the first society quartet to win their gold medal following three consecutive silver medals in the years of 60-61-62 as well as their 3rd place bronze medal in 1959. For the die hard barbershop trivia lover, they placed in the top three medalist positions five times which is more than any other society quartet to date. The T&C were also the first champion to win internationally as the 1963 convention was held in Toronto Canada for the first time in the history of the society. After three consecutive silver medals, they most coincidentally became the society's 25 year silver anniversary champions! Known as one of the quartet greats of the early sixties, their Autenreith trademark arrangements gave them their identity in competetion with other greats of that era like the Suntones, Gala Lads, Sidewinders, & Four Renegades. The T&C FAMILY will honor their fathers on the 50th Anniversary of their championship in 2013 Toronto Canada where they originally won. A spiritual experience it will be!!!
