REGISTRATION IS OPEN
Lemon Squeezy is a Swedish vocal group consisting of four gentlemen. Since singing their first chords together in 2010, their goal has been to sing as fresh and have as much fun as possible. While stemming from a strong Swedish choral tradition, they have truly found footing in barbershop, jazz, and anything that grooves.
In 2012 Lemon Squeezy won the Barbershop Collegiate World Championships and finished second in the world at the International Barbershop Harmony Society Contest 2016 and 2023.
They have recorded two albums, traveled all over the world, and created their own style with a strive to push the envelope of what a men’s a capella quartet can be.
While at HCNW, Lemon Squeezy will be our headliners – singing during the weekend, and as a faculty members teaching and coaching. We are looking forward to a fantastic weekend with Martin, Victor, David, and Sam.

3/20/25 Message from the EVG Board
Folks:
Over the past several weeks a most difficult situation has arisen for our barbershop brothers and sisters who live in Canada.
Not only has the political situation between our two countries deteriorated, but also an extraordinary financial problem has been created by the exchange rate between the US dollar and the Canadian dollar. Currently $1 US = $1.44 Canadian, which will make it likely many Canadians will find it very hard to attend Harmony College Northwest in June.
While there is nothing we can do to ease the political difficulties, there is something we can do to ease the financial difficulties. The Evergreen District Board has decided that for Harmony College Northwest registration in 2025, the two currencies will be equal.
In other words, $1 Canadian will equal $1 US. This will mean an immediate 31% reduction in the cost of HCNW for all Canadians, regardless of affiliation. All Canadian members of BHS, SAI, HI, or even unaffiliated musicians /directors / arrangers/etc. will receive this benefit The monetary difference in the registration fees will be paid by the Evergreen District. To take advantage of this opportunity, all one needs to do is to register for HCNW at https://harmonycollege.net/registration/.
Our goal is simple. We want to make it possible for everyone to share in some of the very best music education that is offered in the barbershop world. HCNW 2025 will offer dedicated workshops on directing, arranging, and leadership with over 150 additional courses available from a world class faculty.
The essence of barbershop harmony is that we sing together. We, the Evergreen District Board, believe that we need to take every possible step to make this happen. To our Canadian brothers and sisters, please accept this as a small token of our appreciation for you.
Thanks, Bill Hickman
Mark your calendars!
HCNW NEXT YEAR: June 11-14 2026 (before Father’s Day weekend)
Newfangled Four will be our headliners.
