The group is one of the world’s oldest and most famous American a cappella legends; so named for their light-hearted mood of “free and exuberant fancy”. Founded in 1909, the Whiffs began as a senior quintet but quickly became an in-demand tour de force on the musical scene. They have performed for a range of distinguished guests, including Mother Theresa, the Dalai Lama and former U.S. Presidents Reagan, Bush and Clinton. Not to mention having a cameo on the final episode in season four of Fox’s hit TV show Glee.
The group’s repertoire draws on a long heritage of original arrangements from many styles and eras, whereby they routinely supplement their traditional barbershop and choral foundation with jazz standards, pop songs and comedy routines. Some new additions to the repertoire include "Killing Me Softly (with his song)" by The Fugees, "The Boxer" by Simon and Garfunkel, "Grace Kelly" by Mika, "Midnight Train to Georgia" by Gladys Night and the Pips and "The Rainbow Connection" from The Muppet.
