This event, sponsored by the First Parish Music Committee, gives our community a rare chance to hear this group locally in-person (and will also be livestreamed on Zoom). The Obertones – Oberlin’s men’s and non-binary a cappella group – will be concluding a tour of Washington D.C., Princeton NJ and Boston with this concert at First Parish. (First Parish’s own Liam Oates, Oberlin ’24, is a member.) Founded in 1984, the Obertones’ mission is to deliver their signature sound to audiences far and wide in fun-filled performances overflowing with contagious energy. Ever a campus favorite at Oberlin and a fixture in northeast Ohio’s Lorain County, the Obertones are also frequently on the road. Their quest to share their love of singing has taken them from coast to coast, south and north, from busking on the streets of New York, to major festival stages in Washington, DC, to a livestream of over 100,000 viewers, and everywhere in between. They have been featured on HBO’s Girls and Netflix’s Bojack Horseman.
If planning to attend in-person, please check First Parish’s latest covid guidelines for updates.
A free will offering to benefit First Parish will be taken during the performance both in-person and on Zoom.
