12th Street Rag began performing in August of 1993. A unique blend of voices, this quartet has entertained numerous audiences and participated in competition at both the local and international level. In 1994, 12th Street Rag became the Central States District Quartet Champions, and have been International quarterfinalists every year since. For the last few years, 12th Street Rag has sung their way into the International semifinal round placing them among the top 20 quartets in the world!

Micah Jeppesen, the quartet's Tenor, joined the Fremont Pathfinders Barbershop Chorus and through his huge efforts in stage presence and performance, has helped the Pathfinders retain their "Best Barbershop Chorus in Nebraska" title. Micah is a welcome edition to the group and we enjoy the ability to call 12th Street Rag one of our Chapter quartets. (until the courts say otherwise)

12th Street Rag is highly active in their home Kansas City area, encouraging youth to get involved in music. Every year they put together a tour of schools, and this past January, their tour involved 15 schools and over 1,300 kids. If you'd like to support 12th Street Rag's musical endeavors, we invite you to purchase a copy of their latest recording "Our Souls Rejoice"

These four guys from America's heartland offer a unique collection of music that includes Movie Greats, Barbershop Classics, Big Band Songs, Ragtime Tunes, Gospel/Contemporary Christian Pieces and More.
