One-A-Chord A Cappella Quartet is an experienced vocal blend of musical talent from Barnesville, Ohio specializing in doo wop songs and classic oldies. Members are Tyler McCort, lead; Terry McCort, high tenor; Tony Huntsman, baritone; and Brad Wilson, bass. Highlights for One-A-Chord include singing the National Anthem for the Pittsburgh Pirates, Turn Back the Clock Night at PNC Park, opening for Little Big Town, Phil Dirt and the Dozers, the Van Dells, the Fabulous Hubcaps, Rick K & the Allnighters, and Danielle Peck. County Fair performances include the Barbour, Wirt, Nicholas, Tyler, Lewis, Mannington, and Wetzel County Fairs of West Virginia, and the Belmont and Monroe County Fairs of Ohio. Major festival performances include Bob Evans Farm Festival, WV Strawberry Festival, WV Three Rivers Festival, Parade of the Hills, Barnesville Pumpkin Festival, Woodsfield Black Walnut Festival, Reynoldsburg Tomato Festival, Fenton Glass Centennial Celebration, River Heritage Days, Paden City Labor Day Festival, Parkersburg Homecoming, Ripley 4th of July Celebration, Wheeling Sternwheel Festival, Marietta Sternwheel Festival, Beckley Renaissance, Friends of Coal Exhibition, Bridgeport Benedum Festival, and others. The group's most recent and extremely popular CD is *Turning Back Time, released in February 2007. It is the quartet's second album of 14 a cappella oldies & doo wop songs including the original song Turning Back Time* written by our own Terry McCort. One-A-Chord's very first recording venture into the field of oldies & doo wop was a true success. Their Shades of the Past CD was selected by CASA (Contemporary A cappella Society of America) as the Best A cappella Doo Wop Album of 2005. The religious roots of the quartet are deep in the Church of Christ where a cappella singing (in chapel style without instrumental accompaniment) is the standard. In October 2003 a well-received gospel CD of 10 a cappella songs was released entitled One Lord, One Faith. Their spontaneous humor and audience interaction makes each performance delightfully unique.
