Medallion Quartet has been singing in Austin since 2001. They perform free of charge at many charity events, schools, nursing homes and hospitals. They also keep busy providing paid entertainment for parties, weddings, and other gatherings. 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. They’ve sung the opening day National Anthem for both the Longhorns and the Round Rock Express baseball teams. You may also have seen or heard them during one of their many appearances on local Austin radio and TV shows.

The newest member of the group, bass singer Gary Bowie, began his a cappella singing career at Kansas State and may be the only remodeler in Austin with a Masters of Divinity degree. LeRoy Lawson, the baritone, is a professional photographer and retired Air Traffic Controller whose singing career spans seven decades.
