Jeff Klemme is our LEAD and is a database administrator for House of Brick in Omaha. He's been singing lead since he started in 2002 and has been in about 100 quartets. He mixes the flavors of his lead singing just as carefully as mixing the flavors of the brews he creates. He is married to Lisa and has three kids, Olivia, Hannah, and Sam. Yes, he is our official home brewer.
Bill Lamme is our BARITONE and is a 30-plus year member of the Barbershop Harmony Society. He sings bari because none of the others are crazy enough to do so. He's also been in 103, er, 104, uh, 105, well, a lot of quartets. He is also the in-house choreographer for the Pathfinder Chorus. Bill is retired from Union Pacific Railroad in Omaha and now plays a lot of golf. And constantly reminds us about how much golf he gets to play. He and his wife Sherie also spend a lot of time traveling to exotic locales and spend time spoiling their grandchildren. His brew choices tend to be on the dark side, fitting for a baritone.

Phil Fitzpatrick sings BASS and is an Assistant Dean for the College of Science and Technology at Bellevue University in Bellevue, NE and also does marketing and social media for the Carlson & Burnett law firm and owns his own company, E-Quake Social Media. He constantly gets grief as he can't sing the high parts (but is working on his range.) Basically, he thinks that his low range means he is the most manly man of the quartet (he is). Phil has been in about 101 quartets, so he wants this one to keep going! He is married to Laurie and has two sons, Brenden and Matthew. And he loves Jeff’s (or anybody’s) home brew.
Dale Clary sings TENOR and strives to reach high notes that only dogs can hear. He has many years of solo and quartet singing experience and has sung in about 102 quartets. He is a semi driver for Structural Components in Fremont, delivering loads of roof trusses all over the Midwest. The high notes he sings while he drives have been known to shatter windows of passing cars. He is married to Dawn and has four children, Blake, Amber, Triston and Savanna and is now a grandfather of twins. And his brew choice is light, just like a good tenor voice.

Mulready Family Celebration - June 29, 2018
Bill and all—thank you for the fantastic performance last night! My father-in-law absolutely loved it, as we all did. “Moondance” is actually one of my wife’s favorite songs, so that was a great surprise for her. It was a pleasure getting to see you perform. Thank you again!
