The Penny Loafers, an all-male quartet, will perform at Berea College on Sept.11 at 3:00 p.m. in Phelps Stokes Chapel. The Convocation event is co-sponsored by the Campus Christian Center.

Blending a variety of musical styles, from 1950’s doo-wop to contemporary gospel, the “Loafers” combine impressive vocals, original material, new arrangements of traditional favorites, and a unique sound that appeals to all ages.

The four-man ensemble formed in 1985 when four Berea College students appeared in a campus talent show, singing an a cappella version of “Happy Trails.” Members of the group came and went until the Loafers went on the road full-time in1989. They have performed at various events and venues across the country over the last fifteen years, including banquets, conventions, universities, and churches. Although no longer on the road full-time, the Penny Loafers continue to perform nationwide. All of the group members currently serve churches in both pastoral and music ministry.
