Who's Who
Our director, Rich Gray, is a life-long singer and musician, whose talents have taken him across the country and abroad. With a diverse musical background, Rich brings a unique look at the Barbershop style. He consistantly strives to extract everything that a musical score has to offer.

Rich started singing early on, in school choruses and church choirs. By age 10, he was singing 4-part harmony around the dinner table with his brother and two sisters. In his early teens, Rich learned to play the guitar. Self-taught, he soon became very active in everthing from small acoustic ensembles to full blown rock-n-roll bands.

At age 23, Rich became a member of The Society for the Preservation and Encouragement of Barbershop Quartet Singing in America, Inc. He joined the Wilmington, Delaware Chapter, The Chorus of the Brandywine, and quickly formed his first quartet, Runaway Sound which included two family members. That quartet went on to become the 2001 Mid-Atlantic District Quartet Champions. This honor landed him and his fellow quartet members a permanent slot in the Mid-Atlantic District Association of Quartet Champions (MADAQC).

In 2003, Rich formed his current quartet, Wheelhouse, who won 1st Place in their first 3 contests, including the 2003 Atlantic Division Contest, the 2003 Mid-Atlantic District Contest, and the 2003 M-AD Prelims Contest. These wins propelled them to a 9th Place Finalist finish in their very first year of International Competition in Montréal, 2003. Rich is the 'visionary' of the Wheelhouse quartet and leads the guys to the high level of competion and style that captures the hearts of audiences around the world.
