Founded in 1960, The South Shore Saints is a Greenfield Park based Barbershop Chorus.
We are part of the Barbershop Harmony Society, a world wide a capella singing organization that counts over 33,000 members.
Our chorus is a non profit organization that promotes chorus and quartet barbershop singing. We compete at Division and District levels.
One of our missions is to help charitable organizations either through donations or through free sing-outs (Fund raising events, senior homes, foundations, etc).
Our repertoire is a mix of:
• Beginning of 20th century American popular songs (Original Barbershop style)
• Jazz flavoured arrangements of the most beautiful songs ever written
• A Capella arrangements of contemporary popular songs (French and English)
• Some spiritual numbers for special occasions.
Contact us to request information or tickets for one of our events.
We will reserve your tickets at the door to be paid upon arrival.

Guy became a barbershopper in 2006, at the age of 60, and wishes it had been sooner! For him, singing in four part harmony a cappella style is a challenge, a cure, just great fun.
Guy was president of The South Shore Saints from 2015 to 2022.
Luc was introduced to Barbershop in 2011, at the age of 54, and like so many men before him, he fell in love with a cappella singing. For him, the chords and overtone from singing in the barbershop style bring so much emotion. Luc especially enjoys quartet singing for various community events.
Many members of the South Shore Saints enjoy singing with Barbershop Quartets.
