 OUR
DIRECTOR
Luke Lindsay became our director in January of 2005,
having served the previous four years as Director of the
Stone Mountain Men's Barbershop Chorus. He is a longtime
barbershopper who brings a wealth of experience to the
Georgia Connection. His first championship barbershop
quartet experience was as a sophomore in high school, when
"The Golden Regents" were crowned High School Champs in
Knoxville, TN. Two years later, the same quartet was the
first novice quartet to make the finals of the SPEBSQSA
Dixie District Contest. He also sang with the"Skylarks", a
popular Dixie Quartet which finished second three
consecutive years in competition. They also competed at the
international level. Luke's dream to be in a Dixie District
Championship Quartet was realized in 1979, as he sang
baritone with the "Gents."
Luke is a former director of "Knoxville Smokyland" and
"Knox Metro" men's barbershop choruses, and also directed
the "Heart of the Valley" Sweet Adeline Chorus. He has
coached both men's and women's choruses and quartets.
Luke received a BS in Music Education from the University
of Tennessee, Knoxville, and was the recipient of the Edward
H. Hamilton Graduate Choral Conducting Scholarship. He
received his Master's degree in Church Music from
Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Ft. Worth,
Texas. He currently works as a senior lease analyst for
Honda Finance. Email Luke
