Mad Harmony began singing together in December of 2008. All four are active members of the Capitol Chordsmen Chorus, and they competed together for the first time at the Division One contest in April 2009. In 2010, the quartet won the Division 1 Novice Championship, and went on to the Land O Lakes District to become District Novice Champ.
The lead, John Itson, began singing barbershop his freshman year
at Capital University in Ohio. John relocated to Madison and joined the Capitol Chordsmen Chorus, jumping at the chance to be a part of Mad Harmony.
The baritone, Joshua Oxley, has been singing barbershop since 2001. He
has sung all four parts in active quartets but prefers to sing bari when given
the chance. He looks forward to many great singouts with Mad Harmony,
whenever he isn’t directing the Capitol Chordsmen Chorus.
The bass, Kent McDonald, first joined the Capitol Chordsmen in
1963, and is honored to have this opportunity to add the low notes to get
the Mad Harmony sound.
Jay Mulder, singing tenor, has been singing in the Capitol Chordsmen
Chorus since 2006, and loves the opportunity to sing the high notes
for the quartet.
