NEWS RELEASE

Stephen Wilde Joins VOCE

NEW YORK, NY, November 29, 2008: International
Quartet Champion Stephen Wilde is the new tenor
singer of the vocal group, VOCE.

Original tenor Joel Beets recently resigned from
the foursome. According to baritone Paul Harris,
“We had a great run and won the Illinois District
Championship with Joel. We wish him the best in his future endeavors.”

Hailing from Pittsburgh, PA, in the Johnny
Appleseed District, Stephen Wilde won the 1994
International Quartet Championship at home as the
tenor of JOKER’S WILD. With his arrival, VOCE
now has two gold medalists in the ensemble, as
bass Jay Giallombardo won the Quartet
Championship in 1979 with the very popular GRANDMA’S BOYS.

Stephen brings a wealth of education and
experience to VOCE, as he holds two Graduate
Degrees in Acting; a Master of Fine Arts from
Carnegie Mellon, and a Graduate Degree from The
Moscow Art Theatre School in Russia. He is a
professional actor/singer living in the Upper
East Side of New York City, not far from where
lead singer, Keith Harris, a professional opera
singer, resides (he’s on the Upper West Side).
Paul Harris, from Madison WI, rounds out the
4-some. Paul has the unique ability of singing
both tenor and baritone. Keith and Paul sang with
FREEFALL, the 1997 International Collegiate Quartet Champions.

Stephen is a member of the Manhattan, NY chapter
(the BIG APPLE CHORUS). He is a founder and
Managing Partner of NAKED VOICE RECORDS, LLC,
which distributes the contest recordings of the
Barbershop Harmony Society worldwide through more
than 50 vendors, including Apple’s ubiquitous
iTunes Store. Professionally, Stephen Wilde has
been seen on and off Broadway in many hit plays
