The Confederates
The Confederates were a barbershop quartet that performed in the 1950s and 1960s.
The group formed in September 1953 at a SPEBSQSA chapter meeting in Memphis, Tennessee. They consisted of:
George Evans – tenor
Dave LaBonte – lead
Bill "Buz" Busby – baritone
Wally Singleton – bass
The Confederates took first place in the 1956 SPEBSQSA International Quartet Championship after finishing second the year before. They were notable not only for their championship-caliber harmonies, but also for performing in Confederate officer uniforms.
The group stopped performing in 1969.
