Caryn Lin uses her 4, 5, and 6 string electric violins, sound effects, percussion instruments and her voice to transcend that "solo" sound by doing what is called "looping". She creates layers of live sound loops over deceptively simple melodies resulting in music that is both other worldly and totally catchy and mesmerizing! It is eclectic, combining New Age, World and Classical. Caryn thinks of it as electric violin/virtual orchestral! "Caryn Lin is truly a unique artist playing highly original music with passion, heart, and imagination. No matter what you 'Call' her music, one thing for sure is that it's amazing! Highest recommendation." - Bill Binkelman, New Age Reporter.

3 Good Men is a barbershop quartet associated with the award-winning Cherry Hill Pine Barons Chorus. We sing four-part acapella harmony in the Barbershop style, and draw from a repertoire of over 100 songs. There is nothing as exciting as the sound of this uniquely American style of music, in which four voices blend together to create a fifth or "phantom" voice, (or as we say, "ring a chord"). This is the essence of Barbershop, and what we strive to achieve in every performance. 3 Good Men are: Joel (Lead), Bill (Tenor), Steven (Baritone), and Dave (Bass). We come from divergent walks of life: professional photography, medicine, engineering, and sales.
