Fourth Avenue

Fourth Avenue, a professional a cappella quartet based in Dayton, OH, entertains and engages audiences with concerts that feature a variety of familiar pop, rock, soul, R&B, gospel, and doo-wop favorites from different eras, as well as catchy original music performed with their unique high-energy approach.

Fourth Avenue is currently celebrating thirty years of making music! Since their start in 1993, they have shared the stage with such national acts as the Beach Boys, The Temptations, Styx, and Three Dog Night. The group celebrated its twenty-fifth anniversary of entertaining audiences in 2018, and in 2019, they were honored to perform for the West Virginia Governor’s School for the Arts. Most amazing is Fourth Avenue’s ability, as “the band without instrument,” to perform pop favorites and original tunes using nothing but their own voices!
