The festivities for Party Line Quartet started in January 2010, when four experienced barbershoppers got together to "party on" by ringing barbershop chords.

Mary Anne Cleaveland, Party tenor, has been a Sweet Adeline since 1994. She currently sings with the Pride of Baltimore Chorus, where she has been a member for over 10 years and currently serves as the Membership Chair. Prior to that, she sang in with Greater Richmond, Goldcoast and Jacksonville Harmony Choruses.

Sharon Ehrisman, Party lead, is a Salisbury native, working as an orchestra director in the Wicomico County Public School System. In her spare time, she hits the road travelling over 200 miles a week to satisfy her addiction to barbershop harmony. Besides singing lead in the quartet, Sharon directs Harmony on the Bay, which rehearses in Centreville, MD.

Meghan McKinney, Party baritone, has been singing barbershop in various quartets for just over a decade. She was introduced to the style in high school and has been a huge fan ever since! She currently sings with the Dundalk Chorus, of which she has been a member since 2010. When not singing, (or partying!), Meghan works at an oncology center as a Radiation Therapist. Aside from the "work" aspect, she can often be found singing songs with her patients.

Sarah Nainan-Newhard, Party bass, has been a Sweet Adeline since 1991. She is a member of the Harbor City Music Company, where she serves in several leadership positions. When not singing, Sarah is a software trainer for a national non-profit organization.

As you can tell, the members of Party Line quartet work just as hard as they party!
