Who we are

A men's chorus in Cleveland.

Sound of Tennessee is a men's barbershop chorus in Cleveland, TN, founded in 1998. We're a chapter of the Barbershop Harmony Society in the Southeastern Harmony District. We rehearse every Tuesday night, put on a Christmas show every December, and compete on the International stage.
