Lustre
Lustre Quartet – 2018 Sweet Adelines International Champions
Lustre is a barbershop quartet that has been performing together for over 20 years, blending friendship, musical excellence, and pure joy. Their winning performance at the 2018 Sweet Adelines International Competition in Las Vegas set a record-high score and earned them the "Most Entertaining Quartet" distinction.
The quartet has performed everywhere from street corners to center field at Camden Yards for Baltimore Orioles games. They've competed successfully in both Sweet Adelines and Harmony Sweepstakes A Cappella Festival competitions, winning the Mid-Atlantic Regional twice (2013, 2017) and finishing second internationally both years.
Beyond performing, Lustre coaches barbershop singers at all levels and released their second full-length CD, "Shine On!" in 2018. They’ve also taken on a long-held goal: recording a holiday-themed CD, a project they first dreamed about 20 years ago. In 2025 the quartet paused their work briefly due to personal commitments, but they’ve already completed five tracks and plan to return to the studio in early 2026.
The members—Kate Towne (Tenor), Lori Crouter (Lead), Lori Dreyer (Baritone), and Jenny Harris, Director of The Annapolis Blend (Bass)—are all active members and leaders in Sweet Adelines.

The Cordelias
Meet The Cordelias—four women whose rehearsals involve equal parts singing, laughing, and cheesecake. Kaitlyn McQuaid (Tenor), Levke Haas (Lead), Galen Fisher (Bass), and Emily La (Baritone) formed their quartet in 2024 and have already made their mark performing at Annapolis Porch Fest, the Maryland Avenue Fall Festival, and the inaugural home opener of the Annapolis Blues women's soccer team at Navy Stadium. Recognized for their big sound and natural on-stage chemistry, they're happy to sing just about anywhere that will have them.
When they're not performing, you'll find them singing with The Annapolis Blend chorus or Harbor City Music Company. And in their day-to-day lives, they keep things just as interesting—managing Chesapeake watershed data, teaching photography, keeping a state delegate's office running, and serving as a Naval officer. Which one does what? That's for you to figure out!
