Jay has been singing barbershop harmony his whole life and has been a member of the Barbershop Harmony Society for 41 years. He loves being part of the barbershop community and sharing his experience and talents with such a fun group of men. 

Many of you will recognize Jay as the tenor of Vocality, a Land O’ Lake District Champion and Hall of Fame quartet. And Jay is the Immediate Past President of the Land O’ Lakes District. When he isn’t engaged in a barbershop activity he enjoys boating, fishing and spending time with his family, especially his three young grandchildren! And, as time permits, Jay does some business consulting as the President of Lake Avenue Group.

VOCALITY QUARTET WEBSITE

Kordal Kombat is a barbershop quartet from central Minnesota. Since the group’s founding in the Fall of 2009 on the Morris campus of the University of Minnesota, Kordal Kombat has test- driven the entire spectrum of a cappella music genres from classical to gospel, pop, doo wop, jazz, and everything in-between. In the fall of 2012, after establishing the personnel lineup that they still have to this day, they finally discovered that their true love was for the barbershop style of singing. Soon after their discovery, Kordal Kombat joined the Willmar chapter of the Land O' Lakes District of the Barbershop Harmony Society. Now all four members of Kordal Kombat are proud, first generation barbershoppers.

Kordal Kombat’s 16 year journey has taken them all over North America for competitions and across the midwest, where they’ve performed on hundreds of stages for thousands of music lovers. In competition, they have enjoyed success by winning the 2013 Land O’ Lakes District Quartet Competition, appearing three times in the International Collegiate Barbershop Quartet Contest, and finishing 27th in the world in the 2017 International Barbershop Quartet Contest in Las Vegas, Nevada. These four college buddies are having a blast making music together, and they look forward to what the next 16 years have in store for them!
