Medallion Quartet has been singing in Austin since 2001. They are a constant presence in the Austin music scene, performing free of charge at charity events, public service events, schools, and hospitals. They also keep busy providing paid entertainment for parties, weddings, and other gatherings. They were recently invited to sing the National Anthem for the 5000 attendees at the Texas State Tournament for Destination Imagination and they were one of many local groups invited to perform in the week-long opening celebration of Austin’s new premier performing site, the Long Center. You may have seen or heard them during one of their many appearances on local Austin radio and TV shows or during one of their many impromptu performances around town.


The Guys: The lead singer, Lon Badgett, is a retired Air Force Pilot who has dabbled in vocal music since his High School Days. The Bass, Clay Pearce, is a retired Air Force Navigator and also has a lifelong background as a singer and guitar player. LeRoy Lawson, the baritone of the group, is a professional photographer and retired Air Traffic Controller whose singing career also spans several decades. Bob Schneider, the tenor, is a manager with the Texas Department of Information Resources and was a barbershop singer in Maine for many years before moving to Texas in the 90's.

The four singers are all members of the Austin Chord Rangers, the Austin chapter of the 30,000 man Barbershop Harmony Society. The Chord Rangers are a non-profit group dedicated to music education for America's youth and their primary fundraising sources are concerts and singing valentines. If you like a cappella music, or if you’ve ever wanted to sing Barbershop yourself, you should come by one of their weekly rehearsals.
