The Alley Cats: Friday Night's Barbershop Quartet

​

In another edition of what this writer's going to call "Free Things to Do This Weekend" (it's unofficial!), So-Cal's own barbershop quartet, The Alley Cats, comes home Friday night with a free concert at Chapman University. 

Formed in 1987 at Fullerton College, the group is considered as "America's Premiere Doo-Wop Group" --you may have even seen them perform at Disneyland or in Las Vegas with Jay Leno.

There's just something about a bunch of guys in matching suits and top hats, singing in perfect harmony just that just screams old-school but amazing. So bring that picnicking gear to Attallah Plaza at Chapman University, and enjoy a Friday night reminiscing about times when a can of Coke was only a dime.

After the jump: Event info and a clip of the Alley Cats harmonizing with none other than Conan O'Brien!
