A very British group is having a very jolly time exploring the Great American Songbook.
"It's our chance to delve deeper into a fantastic body of work. The research was as much fun as the execution," says Christopher Gabbitas, 34, of Sussex, England, a second baritone who joined The King's Singers in February 2004.
The six-man a cappella ensemble -- two countertenors, one tenor, two baritones and one bass from southeast England -- will bring new arrangements of American standards to the University of Dubuque on Monday (2/3) and the Paramount Theatre in Cedar Rapids on Tuesday (2/4).
