2011 Carolinas District Champions!

Champs!

17 Below is a barbershop quartet and a proud member of the newly formed Carolinas

District of the Barbershop Harmony Society. Travis, Adam, Scot, and Mike have been singing,

competing, and entertaining audiences together since 2009. While they may not be a professional

barbershop quartet, they did rehearse at a Holiday Inn Express last night… (seriously!) They

travel a combined 888 round-trip miles each time they rehearse there – as members are spread

out between Eastern Tennessee, Western North Carolina and the North Carolina Piedmont Triad

area. These performers are dedicated to providing outstanding entertainment from the heart –

and their quest is to share a great adventure with each and every audience.

Adam Gossage lives in Knoxville, TN where he works as a Vice President of Risk

Monitoring Technology for Bank of America. He has been singing lead in competitive

barbershop quartets since 2004. Adam dreams of sailing the open seas with the wind in his hair.

Scot Gregg lives in Asheville, NC and works as a retail manager. He is a trained

musician with an undergraduate degree in vocal performance, and has been providing his deep

bass voice to barbershop quartets since 2007. In his spare time, Scot works as a scrub nurse in a

local outpatient surgical center.

Travis Murray lives in High Point, NC and works as a computer programmer and

project development professional. He has sung lead, tenor, and baritone in competitive quartets

since 2000, and sings baritone for 17 Below. Travis one day would like to give up computers

and travel the world searching for treasure.

Mike Fitch lives in Winston-Salem, NC, where he works as an emergency physician

and Associate Professor at the Wake Forest University School of Medicine. He has been singing

tenor in barbershop quartets since 1988. When not providing care in the Emergency Department,

Mike designs functional and sophisticated hospital attire for patients.
