Songbird
SongBird Quartet got together in 2019 when Iris Christ (Lead) suggested the group learn “Song Bird,” a love song written by Eva Cassidy, to serenade Iris’s husband at his 80th surprise birthday party. They decided to continue on together and named the quartet SongBird for sentimental reasons.
Iris and Marcia Cornell (Tenor) have sung together in various quartets since joining the Shore Notes in 2002. Iris moved to Hilton Head in 2000 from Cincinnati, and Marcia moved here in 1996 from Summit, NJ. Iris became the Musical Director of the Shore Notes in 2021. Sue Gordon (Baritone) moved from New Jersey, where she sang with Ramapo Valley Chorus for 15 years. She has been a Sweet Adeline for over 30 years and is a dual member of Song of Atlanta, which won Second Place in Sweet Adelines’ International Competition this past September in Kansas City, MO. Betty Owen (Bass) retired to Beaufort from Myrtle Beach in 2016, where she sang with Grand Strand Harmony for over 20 years. She also was a dual member with Song of Atlanta and competed with them at International Competition in Phoenix, AZ in 2022.
Together this foursome has over 100 years of singing experience! SongBird is available for Singing Valentines and any other festive occasion. Contact Marcia at macornell81@gmail.com
