an all-male a cappella group founded in 1947 at Yale University, will be
touring in the LA area from January 2nd through 6th and Santa

from hilarious song-and-dance numbers like "Lil'
Red Riding Hood" to traditional melodies like "Loch
Lomond" and pop hits like "As" by Stevie Wonder. Sometimes they'll even throw in a funny skit
to break up the singing. Check out songs and pictures of them at: http://www.thebakersdozen.com. The
group enjoys entertaining in a variety of settings, from school and community auditoriums
to private parties, and they would love to sing for you this winter. Please
