3 Redneck Tenors "Shut Up and Sing!"

at The Lyric Theatre Feb 24, 2017 7:00 pm

Everyone’s favorite mulleted trio is back again this year; it’s 3 Redneck Tenors: Shut Up and Sing. A new and unique breed of tenor, the 3 Redneck Tenors aren’t afraid to poke a little fun at themselves, combining musical comedy with classically trained vocalists to make a Duck Dynasty meets Carnegie Hall combination.

3 Redneck Tenors features Matthew Lord, Blake Davidson, and Jonathan Fruge, with music arranged by the award-winning composer Craig Bohmler. Featuring music ranging from country, to gospel, Broadway, and classical, the group is widely celebrated for their hilarious comedy routines blended seamlessly with professional musical numbers. 3 Redneck Tenors is written by the tenor and opera veteran Matthew Lord.

The three tenors are as classically trained as they are funny. Native Californian, Matthew Lord, boasts an extensive repertoire, from 18th century works to contemporary composers, and the tenor has performed in nearly every major opera house in America, including the San Francisco Opera and the Lyric Opera of Chicago. Tenor Blake Davidson has performed in solo concerts at Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall, and the Tokyo Opera House. Davidson won the American Repertoire Award at the Bellini Competition in Sicily and received a nomination for the Leon Rabin Best Actor in a Musical Award. Jonathan Fruge has performed with the New York City Chamber Orchestra and has over 20 leading roles under his belt, including the role of Col. Hugh Pickering in My Fair Lady. Despite their proper training and classical sensibilities, the three men love to dress up as three mullet-wearing southern boys and make audiences across the country laugh.
