The “Speakeasy” foursome started singing together in
2005 by slowly initiating each new member into an old quartet. Sandra Lee, bass, is a veteran quartet singer who needed a tenor to sing with her former quartet. So in came Kate Morrical. Then Erica Nybro was recruited to sing lead a few months later to replace a lead who was leaving the area. Finally it came time to find a new baritone, and Kristen Laursen (a former lead!) stepped up to the plate. With three new members in an ‘old’ quartet, it was time to find a new name, and “Speakeasy” was born.

Sandra, an adoring grandmother and book-lover offers her house for rehearsals and keeps the group laughing, while Kate, an engineer, can hear any out-of-tune chords (and fix them!). Kristen works in environmental policy and amazes the group with her ability to quickly master the very challenging baritone parts. Erica works in international health and can be seen with headphones and sheet music in various airports worldwide.
