Meet the Choral Tracks Team

He grew up singing barbershop, and has performed around the world as the baritone of the Barbershop Harmony Society’s 2018 International Champion quartet, After Hours. Bryan has also served as Musical Director of the Midwest Vocal Express, an internationally ranked men’s chorus, since 2018.
A native of the Waukesha, WI area, Bryan now lives in Madison, WI with his girlfriend Kathryn. He loves spending weekends with his three kids, Hank (7), Aiden (5), and Jackie (3), and whipping up some gourmet eats while watching his favorite cooking shows!

Nate Peplinski
Nate began work with Choral Tracks in the Summer of 2019 as an Audio Engineer. His unique set of skills, and experience performing in barbershop quartets and choruses, creates a great asset for the growth of the Choral Tracks catalog.
Nate grew up on a small farm in central Wisconsin, and spent years operating his own farm and as a hired herdsman. He was active in the choirs all four years at UW-Platteville and has been a member of the Barbershop Harmony Society for 23 years; his dad got him started in the hobby and they still quartet together!
