The Georgetown Chimes is a collegiate a cappella group from Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. Founded in 1946 by Francis E. (Frank) Jones as a barbershop quartet, the group has had 286 members, and has recorded two dozen albums in its history.[1][2] The Chimes are particularly well known for the annual a capella show they host each February, the Cherry Tree Massacre, which has been hosted for over 50 years.[3] Within Washington, D.C., the Chimes are known for hosting regular "Chimes Nights" at the Tombs, a popular rathskeller bar in the Georgetown neighborhood.[4][5] Additionally, the Chimes are regularly featured as guests in the DC A Cappella Festival (DCAF).[6] The Chimes' alumni includes politicians and public figures such as U.S. Senator from Georgia Jon Ossoff and Jeff Civillico.[7]
