They perform clever, innovative arrangements with a sound that hearkens unto ensembles of yesteryear like the Hi-Los, the Four Freshmen, and Lambert, Hendricks & Ross. Although the group is based in Los Angeles, four of the five members have strong ties to San Luis Obispo and found memories of this beautiful town:… Show more bass Vincent Johnson (also a current member of the Four Freshmen) attended San Luis Obispo High School; alto Christine Tavares graduated with a music degree from Cal Poly, and soprano Colleen Keene attended Cuesta College for many years before moving to Los Angeles. Down 4 The Count has shared the stage with two of San Luis Obispo County's local musical celebrities, Jody Mulgrew and Inga Swearingen. All members of the ensemble are working professional singers, and they are proud to have recently won the 2012 Los Angeles Harmony Sweepstakes, an annual competition for a cappella groups. Shortly after that victory, they released an EP called "Tin Foil Fedora" featuring their competition set and two other previously unreleased songs. Down 4 The Count generally performs a cappella and is appropriate for all audiences.
