What was Keystone?

Keystone was a genuine Barbershop Quartet - four men who created great music a cappella (without instruments), and love to sing tight, rich barbershop harmonies. They entertained audiences in the Pittsburgh area and throughout Western Pennsylvania for more than 3 years.

The members of Keystone had a combined total of 33 years of barbershopping experience. These gents loved to sing the "old songs" as well as the new songs!

How do I contact Keystone?

While we'd love to entertain you at your banquet, picnic or party, the quartet has disbanded due to job relocations and real life intrusions! For more information on booking a quartet like Keystone for your "gig," you can contact the Steel City Harmonizers at info@pittsburghmetro.com
