Although A Touch of Harmony just formed recently (fall of 2009), it boasts over 100 years of entertaining experience. All four are members of the Clipper City Chordsmen and got together to have some fun, sing a variety of music in four-part harmony and to entertain audiences.

Lead Bill Heinzen, a retired Land O’ Lakes field rep, has been a prolific soloist in the area for many years. Bill has been a member of a number of quartets including Carte Blanche and Occasional Harmony. He proudly resides just west of Manitowoc with his wife Judy.

Bass Bob Fricke, CEO of Fricke Printing Services, Inc., has duel memberships in the Green Bay and Manitowoc chapters. He also sings with the Compass Points, a Green Bay quartet. Past quartet involvement included Krazie Daze and Generation Gap. Bob has been very active in the LOL district where he is currently co-editor of the Pitch Piper, LOL district newsletter, with his son Bill. He and his wife Charlotte also call Manitowoc their home.

Baritone Lee Neubert is a retired nursing home maintenance engineer, and is presently a volunteer driver for Aurora and The Red Cross. Affectionately known as the “Lone Arranger” to the quartet, he is always customizing songs to make them more interesting and ear pleasing in their chord structure. Lee has been in multiple quartets, the most recent being The New Manitones and Occasional Harmony. He and his wife Charlene reside in Manitowoc.

Tenor Randy Detjen, is the newest “quarteter” of the foursome with about 8 years of experience. Randy is president and owner of "What-A-Relief" – a 3D relief sculpture business. Randy And his wife Jane, live in Two Rivers. (There has to be one in every crowd!)

We enjoy singing–we would enjoy it even more if we sang for you!

Although a few of the singers in Cool Street have changed since forming in 2001, one thing remains constant – the fun that we have singing our songs. Cool Street Quartet is made up of Tim Steffen, Bruce Schlei, Roger Gottschalk, and Dave Buss. We’re all active members of the Clipper City Chordsmen.

If you’re looking for entertainment for your occasion, whatever it is, contact Cool Street today. We will tailor our performance for the audience. Our repertoire covers a wide range of musical styles, including barbershop, spirituals, doo-wop, and a few songs that we really don’t know what style they are. Our performances are light and fun.

We’ve sung for many different occasions from birthdays to funerals – and everything in between. We’d love to add your family gathering, civic organization banquet, church gathering, convention, etc., to our list of satisfied audiences. Give us a call or drop us a note today.
