Exchange Street formed in late 2011 and has been entertaining audiences all over New England ever since. Its members represent over 50 years in the Barbershop Harmony Society. Several of the members are well known in the Northeastern District, having sung in various medalist quartets at the District level. The quartet formed organically as four members of the Downeasters who enjoyed each other’s company and good beer!

Bass singer, Mike Soper, has a wealth of barbershop experience, having sung on the international stage numerous times with the Granite Statesman chorus. Also, he has sung in several quartets across New England, most notably with The Nightcrawlers. Mike is the Immediate Past President of the Downeasters as well as Bass Section leader.

Baritone, George Feinberg, also has significant barbershop experience, having sung on the international stage numerous times with the Granite Statesman chorus. He has also sung in several quartets, most notably with Easy Reach, Breakaway and was founding baritone (aka "one") of 2012 champions, On Air. George helps out the Downeasters Music team with the baritone section and performance, and works as a software engineer for Oracle Corporation during the day.

Tenor, Ryan Norfleet, is the newest to barbershop quartet singing. He has been singing with the Downeasters for almost two years, but also has barbershop experience going back to high school. Ryan is also trying his hand at tenor for the first time, having sung lead for many years. Ryan contributes to the Downeasters in many ways, including the area of Marketing/PR, and works as a Customer Team Leader at Merck & Co.

Lead, Miles Hunt, is also *relatively* new to barbershop, having sung with the Downeasters since 2010.. He has had several prior quartet experiences with Center Ring (2010 Granite and Pine Novice Champion) and Mac Daddy. Miles works as an attorney at Epstein & O'Donovan, in Portland, ME and has been coaching varsity baseball at Greely High School since 2005, winning 5 state championships in that time.
