  • 2015 Consolations In Concert

    The Consolations “In Concert”
    Two  Nights Only!   September 4th & 5th  Friday & Saturday 8:15 PM

    Admission $25    Pre-show entertainment by
    Chris Crockett 7:15 PM Reservations: 530-265-8686
    Jed Dixon, Andrew Kerr, JR Lewis and Isaias Acosta took
    OBS audiences by storm in 2014  and again this last
    Spring when they appeared as “The Par Four” in our
    blockbuster hit revues Doo-Wop Shoo-Bop and the sequel,
    Par Four at the Masters.   For over a year now, they have
    performed at various local functions as “The
    Consolations,” winning second place in the 2014 Nevada
    County Fair Barbershop Quartet Competition. With a vocal
    style all their own, they return now for two nights only
    as “The Consolations.”  The 90 minute program will
    include some of their signature songs from their various
    public and private appearances.  The vocal blend of this
    quartet is truly superb, and, though many of their
    selections are performed without instrumental
    accompaniment, they will also be joined by keyboardist
    David Blanchard (From Par Four at the Masters).  The
    Consolations In Concert is a “must see” event.

  • The Consolations are on top of doo wop – Paul Cambra

    Are they going to change their name?
    Last year, the aptly-monikered “Consolations” took second place in the Nevada County Fair Barbershop Quartet Competition. But this year, they came in first.
    “During rehearsals for ‘Par Four at the Masters’ we were discussing what we would call ourselves if we went out on our own,” said JR Lewis. “Many comedic replies came up but we all consider ourselves underdogs. None of us are stars; we are more than happy to be runners up.”
    The “Par Four” show was an offshoot of “Doo-Wop Shoo-Bop,” both Off Broadstreet productions featuring the quartet of Lewis, Isaias Acosta, Jed Dixon and Andrew Kerr. They’ve since taken that step out on their own, performing at various functions, both public and private. This weekend, they return to the Off Broadstreet stage for two sold-out shows.
    “Not everybody gets to sing like this with other people,” said Kerr. “It’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience to get into those tight harmonies with other guys that can really sing. When we get up there and do it correctly, it caresses my soul.”
    For Kerr, the more challenging the song, the better. They’ll do four-part harmonies, doo wop and barbershop. Everything from “Stand by Me” to “Coney Island Baby,” a little Beatles, some Beach Boys and, of course, the Four Seasons. And while these far-from-Jersey Boys will perform a good deal without instrumental accompaniment, they will be joined by keyboardist David Blanchard for a portion of the show.…
