The 10 members of The Beelzebubs include Lyme-Old Lyme High School alumnus (Class of 2014) Johnny Fairfield-Sonn (first from left.)

The Tufts Beelzebubs (the ‘Bubs’), Tufts University’s oldest all-male a cappella singing group, will appear in concert at Lyme-Old Lyme High School (LOLHS) tonight.  The concert, sponsored by Friends of Music of Lyme-Old Lyme Public Schools, takes place this evening, Friday, Feb. 20, at 7:30 p.m.

Prior to the concert, the singing group will offer LOLHS students a workshop in a cappella singing, during which the students will learn techniques and Beelzebub arrangements; participants in the workshop will be invited onstage during the concert to demonstrate the skills they learned.

First formed in 1963, the Beelzebubs have been entertaining audiences all over the world for more than 50 years. They have sung for President Barack Obama, President Bill Clinton and US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, among other luminaries, and have traveled to such far-away locales as Tokyo, Hong Kong, London, and South America. They competed – and were first runners-up – on the first season of NBC’sThe Sing-off; and in season two of Fox’s ‘Glee,’ it was the Beelzebubs who gave voice to the fictional Dalton Academy Warblers.

The Bubs’ diverse repertoire ranges from rock to pop to hip-hop, and they are known for their lively original arrangements of recognizable tunes.

The 2014–15 Beelzebubs are made up of 10 Tufts students, including LOLHS alumnus John Fairfield-Sonn, a freshman at the school.

Admission to the Beelzebubs concert at LOLHS is $5 plus a nonperishable food item for the Shoreline Soup Kitchen.  Tickets will be available at the door, which will open at 7 p.m.  All are welcome.

Lyme-Old Lyme High School is located at 69 Lyme Street, Old Lyme. The auditorium is handicapped accessible.
