ArtSmart Presents, The Philadelphia Gritty-Tones, a Barbershop Quartet

December 6, 2025

Grab your scarf, your soft pretzel, and your best “Yo!”—’cause we’re bringing the brotherly love and the barbershop buzz! Join ArtSmart for a one-of-a-kind benefit concert featuring The Philadelphia Gritty-Tones, a barbershop holiday quartet made up of four top-tier Philly musicians who harmonize harder than the Eagles’ defensive line and sport more team pride than Broad Street after a championship win.

These guys don’t just sing—they bring it. Enjoy classics such as “Go the Distance,” “Kiss from a Rose,” “When You Wish Upon a Star,” and “I’ll Be Home for Christmas.” Expect dazzling harmonies, Philly-style banter, and enough good cheer to melt even the iciest of Gritty glares. It’s festive. It’s funny. It’s full of heart. Because in Philly, we don’t just carol—we carol with attitude. Plus, a set from the hometown rockstars of Franklin Learning Center—Universal Language, Philly’s powerhouse student band making waves across the city.

All proceeds benefit ArtSmart, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to transforming the lives of youth in under-resourced communities across Philadelphia and beyond through tuition-free music lessons and mentorship by paid, professional artists.
