The Westside Singers have a long and established history of entertaining audiences in the Portland Metro area. 

In 1945, the Forest Grove Gleeman was formed, with a focus on competitive Barbershop music. 

Then, in the 1960s, the group expanded to include women in its chorus, renaming itself to the Forest Grove Gleeman and Girls. Until the late 2010s, several early members remained active with the group into their 90s. 

Over the years, we have been honored to sing the National Anthem at PGE Park and Memorial Coliseum. The Westside Singers also had the privilege of performing at the 1986 World's Fair in Vancouver, B.C. Our most memorable performances, however, have been while conducting a tour of Europe in the 1970’s where our singers held a command performance for Princess Grace of Monaco.

One constant throughout the long history of the Westside Singers is that our music will transport you to a different time and inevitably make you want to dance, sing along, or simply close your eyes and enjoy the music.
