A Cappella Barbershop Chorus

We are a mixed chorus of men and women singers and have been entertaining Southern California audiences for almost fifty years with our unique style and barbershop harmony.

This is a great time for all who love to sing harmonies. Come have some fun and learn wonderful a cappella music. We rehearse every Monday night in Culver City. Warm-ups begin at 7:00 pm.

The Oceanaires are an a cappella chorus singing in the barbershop style. We have been entertaining the west side of Los Angeles for over 50 years. Men and women are invited to join us to "Keep the Whole World Singing"!
