Although
new to JetSet, Wes is a 23 year member of the Barbershop
Harmony Society. Wes grew up immersed in 4-part acapella
harmony. He is a third generation quartet singer, and as a
youngster sang in a gospel quartet with his father,
grandfather and uncle. He competed in his first barbershop
quartet competition at the age of 16, singing lead in a high
school quartet. Soon after that he switched to tenor and
sang with his dad and uncle in the Rural Route 4, 1986
International Quartet Champions. Upon meeting his lovely
(and very understanding!) wife, Kate, he packed up and
followed her to the Pacific Northwest. Over the last 10
years Wes has sung in two Evergreen District champion
quartets: Reunion (1999) and most recently with JetSet lead
Tim Marron in Flashpoint (2001). Wes currently lives in
Seattle, WA with Kate and their two children, Ellie (7) and
Matthew (4). Wes is excited to be the newest member of the
JetSet!

Prior to joining the
JetSet, Tim sang for six wonderful years with Flashpoint (2001
EVG District Champions and five-time International
quarter-finalists). Tim started barbershop at the tender age of
12, competing in the Evergreen District with his twin and his
father in the “Three Lads and a Dad” quartet. Reuniting with
his brother in JetSet is a dream come true!
Tim has two sons who
are getting into barbershop: Connor (age 11) and Austin (Age
8). They both enjoy going to the EVG Harmony Explosion camp
during the summer, and often accompany their dad to gigs and
competitions (they’ve already picked out a name for their future
quartet with dad and Uncle Mike!). The boys love their jetset
lifestyle with dad and their stepmum!
Tim is married to
Sandy Robinson Marron. Sandy is the tenor for the 2004
International Champion Quartet Brava! and the Master Director of
the SAI Lions Gate Chorus (Vancouver B.C.). Sandy jetsets
around the globe as a professional singing coach. Sandy is the
primary coach for JetSet (she even gives them a discount!), and
is the most amazing woman that Tim has ever met. Tim is one
lucky JetSetter!!!

Mike started singing
barbershop at the
tender age of 12 with "3 Lads & a Dad" and the Spokane Pages of
Harmony. Barbershop is the BEST way to learn to sing! He continued with Vocal Jazz and Choral singing through
high school and college, then sang a season with the Seattle
Symphony Chorale. He is currently living the JetSet life between
San Francisco and New York with his partner Derek, who
introduced him to the wonders of extensive air travel 11 years
ago. He now jets in to Sea-Tac for his twice-monthly
Barbershop weekend bender!
Mike is a freelance Controller and accountant for small business
in both NYC and SF. After too long a layover from singing, he is delighted to be
securely belted in and ready for takeoff with JetSet!
