Drew Wheaton is a Graduate of McGill University in Music Theory, and is in his first year in the Music Education program at the University of Louisville. He has been singing barbershop since birth, officially being a member of the Barbershop Harmony Society for the last 15 years.  Over those years he has sung with various NED quartets, including South Side, a quartet that placed 2nd in the NED in 2002, and Blend Tech which was the first quartet from the Northeastern District to compete in both the International Quartet Competition and the International College Quartet Competition in the same year. 

Drew also runs a learning track recording business, which you can find at www.akwrecording.com.  Through barbershop Drew met his lovely wife, Kristina.  He is very excited to be joining the ranks of Lucky Day and is looking forward to the adventure to come. 

James is a sports journalist from Lexington, Kentucky.  He was the baritone of the 2008 Cardinal District quartet champs, 65 South, and he is a die-hard Cincinnati Reds fan - no further punchline necessary.

Chris is a pharmacist from Indianapolis, Indiana, and has won the Cardinal District quartet contest two-hundred and thirty-five times...  mostly on tenor.  He is sinister but kind to children.

Singer.  Scholar.  Patriot.  Steve’s life is one of adventure, briefly claiming the title “World’s Youngest Baby” at birth, founding a trampoline store franchise in the 1950’s, and winning the National Acronym Spelling Championship (NSAC) 6 years in a row from 1974 - 1979.  In 1980 he was forced to take time off due to personal scandal and banned substance allegations, only to make a triumphant return from 1981 - 1986.  It is with this same joie de vivre that Steve uses French phrases he really doesn’t understand.  Bow-legged raconteur, giant monster fireman, keeper of the elbows, there is no end to the things Steve says he does.  He has also mentioned singing in many ensembles over the years, and is very excited to be a part of the Kentucky Vocal Union.

His name was Steve Bogaerts, and probably still is.
