The Power Returns

On Saturday, April 30, 2022 the Beehive Statesmen entered the post-pandemic era with a pair of great shows. Using a modified version of their famed 3n1 format, the Statesmen did shows at two senior living facilities, Sagewood and Anthology, both in South Jordan. Under the direction of Paul Barlow and Chris Wiggins, the Statemen rang chords, thundered uplifting songs and whispered sweet blessings. The audiences were also treated to the dulcet tones of four quartets, Memories Grow, Here Four You, Beehive Blend, and Fourth Street. The audiences, of about fifty each, were very appreciative and requested (demanded) that we return for Christmas.
