Novelty Shop
“Four part comedy in the barbershop style”
Sally Burns (Tenor), Susan Gleason (Lead), Lynne Peirce (Bass), Cindy Gazetti (Baritone)
“Novelty Shop” has become a dream come true for four former Sweet Adeline Regional quartet champs looking for the true meaning of life…. set to music. First there was the zany Sally Burns, tenor of “New Review”, who had always wanted to sing with Susan Gleason, the hilarious loose cannon lead singer of “Accolade”. Then along came Cindy Gazetti, the classy closet-comedian and lead of “Harmonix” who had ALSO always wanted to sing with Susan and was willing to switch to baritone to do it. Last, there was bass Lynne Peirce, currently quartetless. Lynne had sung with Susan in “Accolade” for nine years so she was invited to jump into the experiment. Well… this decision was a no-brainer, but Lynne agreed to sing with Sue again anyway. From the first rehearsal in December 2001 the quartet realized they could polish off more new music and bowls of popcorn than any quartet they had ever sung with… and those numbered in the several. This foursome has found a match of free spirits who enjoy each other and love creating stand up comedy performed in four-part harmony. We invite you to sit back and laugh with Novelty Shop. And we dare you to figure out who to watch.

We formed in January 2010 to do singing valentines and we had so much fun we decided to stay together. We're always willing to sing for Birthdays, Anniversaries or most any occasion. We were asked in May to sing at a fund raising event for the newest Keith Famie documentary “Our Vietnam Generation” and a local Vet who attended the event had this to say...
“You know that an event is off to a good start when the National Anthem is delivered in four-part harmony by one of the best barbershop quartets in Michigan. Called, ‘Three Friends’ (though a fourth friend performs with them regularly), the local women performed a soul-stirring rendition of The Star Spangled Banner to the over two hundred guests. “ Mike Sand of Fraser.
