What a fantastic songbook Michigan Jake has. I probably know more Michigan Jake songs than any other songs. One of the best quartets to ever sing in the society.

[@Sylvanas590]

I think Mark Hale is probably one of the most pleasant people who has ever lived. You can tell he's nice just by watching this.

[@Wahl95]

Michigan Jake is definitely one of the more musical quartets in the society's history...

[@oldschoolsinger]

The only quartet that ever won with Al Bundy singing bass.

[@douglas2437]

THE TENOR SOUND IS SO 'TWEAKED' I LOVE IT!!! Near the end he just squeezes everything out of every damn note. It's a marvel!

[@BradyAnderson1975]

What kind of sick fool would dislike this?
So good!

[@thefootedroob]

That chord on mine at 7:46... tingles. The way Drew and Mark's vibrati(/os?) match up/clash is fantastic.

[@BarbershopHero]

Nothing gets your toe tapping like Michigan Jake!

[@jakeharvey3582]

I'm a sophomore and I'm in a barbershop quartet and we actually were invited by Drew (the amazing tenor) to join him for a barbershop conference!!! so excited! Michigan Jake is just amazing

[@mewtiny]

I feel so soothed

[@gregstickler3798]

Love the tenor blends so well

[@Jackman24601]

Mark's C at the end of Sweet Lorraine, OMG AMAZE.

[@douglas2437]

Omg yes!!!

[@Jackman24601]

They are SO GOOD!

[@autonomousAcquaintances]

I literally can't listen to any other version of Dinah because of these guys. I'm pissed that I can only find this video for that song because I want to practice their version. It works really well with my range and I love the rhythm of it. I can only find it on spotify and well, that has it's own problems.

[@ronjames-music]

Amazing blend.

[@jeremyconnor8625]

Even though the mics couldn’t handle the sound of the Dinah tag, you can tell by the audience reaction that it was absolutely incredible in that room

[@scottworthington1357]

Pretty sick slide in that tag on Sweet Lorraine!

[@trumpetguy19]

No dislikes. That's what I'm talking about.

[@AtokTrebmal]

My chapters director is Greg Hollander, he is a fantastic bass! This whole quartet is fantastic.

[@JoeWB]

Sweet Lorraine is OFF.THE.CHAIN.

[@AlexanderNash]

Jack Nicholson has an amazing voice!!!!

[@Wiener-Doo]

Nice Tenor!

[@robabob13]

Love Sweet Lorraine! I'm probably responsible for half of those views haha

[@iAmHamlet50]

That tag never ends! So many add ons! Nevertheless, an awesome set out of these guys!

[@barelyanytone]

The lead is reminicent of the lead from Boston Common

[@DeanHoisington]

I love Mark, but his face betrays his thoughts - what mistake did he hear at 2:18 on “Toy?”

[@browncatt1]

thats David Wright for you!

[@kevindmcc]

@TheSingingDentist heard that.

[@gregstickler3798]

Did they eventually win gold or did they fade away

[@TaksSings_n_DrinksMilk]

They won in 2001 I believe
