Meet Our Quartet
Into Wishin'
In the short time Into Wishin’ has been together as a quartet, they have developed a fun and entertaining approach to performing both barbershop and other musical favorites. Kathie (Lead), Lin (Bass), Jill (Baritone) and Isie (Tenor) are Into Wishin’ that they can continue to share their love of singing and look forward to bringing joy to their audiences!
Kathie has been involved with music for many years, but truly found her musical passion when she discovered SAI and acapella four-part harmony 9 years ago. Having sung the lead part with several quartets (including one top ten Regional Quartet), Kathie has found that there is great satisfaction and lots of hard work involved in making those chords ring! When not enjoying this wonderful hobby, Kathie is Chief Operating Officer for Prudential Manor Homes and shares her home with Elliot and Ness, her two West Highland White Terriers.
Lin has been a member of SAI for 5 years now and has discovered that she has "only scratched the surface" of quarteting. She is a member of the Board of Directors and is currently Capitaland's Corresponding Secretary. She and Jim, her husband of 33 years, enjoy hiking, kayaking and reading (he - history/political, she - romance and forensic mysteries, hmmmm). Their 2 sons are "out of the nest" but still a big part of their lives. When not singing or learning more songs and techniques, Lin works as a research scientist for NYSDOH in the Clinical Cytogenetics and Molecular Genetics Laboratories. She is delighted to be with this quartet and loves singing the bass part, which btw, she is sure is the true lead line.
Jill has been a Sweet Adeline for 9 years and only wishes she had discovered this hobby sooner in life! Singing baritone, she loves being the “sand” that fills in all the in-between spaces. This is her first experience singing in a quartet and is just lovin’ it. She also dances as part of the front row. When she isn’t singing or dancing, Jill is a proud Mom of Danielle and Dylan, ages 11 and 9, who love to sing along at home when Mom is practicing! She manages to find time for one of those “paying jobs” too, working as a Manager in Corporate Brand Marketing for Verizon.
Isabel (commonly known as Isie) has been a Sweet Adeline for 20 years, singing tenor. She has sung in several quartets, most recently singing with Kathie in “Ain’t That a KICC!”, a top-ten regional quartet. Isie is enjoying her retirement from teaching and education, and one of her biggest pleasures comes from traveling. She and her barbershopper husband Mike try to attend as many Barbershop conventions and shows as they can.
