Stanford Fleet Street Singers
The Stanford Fleet Street Singers (commonly referred to as "Fleet Street") is an all-male a cappella group at Stanford University. Wearing vests and cardinal-red bow ties, the group performs mostly original songs that incorporate elements of sketch comedy, but their repertoire encompasses several other musical genres, including serenades and pop tunes. Since its founding, Fleet Street has released 10 full-length albums, performed on national television, gone on tour across the U.S., and received numerous awards for its musical talent and ability to entertain.
== History ==
Fleet Street was founded in 1981 after Timothy Biglow, Kyle Kashima, and Chris Tucci failed to get into the Stanford Mendicants and decided to combine their talents and form a group of their own. While Fleet Street is currently known for its comedic style, in the 80's, the group sang mostly barbershop music,〔 which is why, after a series of name changes that included “The Fetuses,” “The Amoebas,” “The Steaming Manholes,” “The Tentacle Men,” and “The Heffalumps,” they finally settled on "Fleet Street" (a reference to Sondheim’s Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, which was playing in San Francisco at the time).

The group's music is strongly rooted in University tradition. When the group was founded, their repertoire was centered on Stanford standards ("Hail Stanford, Hail!", "Come Join the Band", "Dirty Golden Bear," etc.).〔〔 To celebrate the hundredth anniversary of its founding, Stanford University recruited Fleet Street and sent them across the country as part of the University's Centennial Campaign.〔 Traveling through Seattle, New York, Chicago, Portland, and Los Angeles, Fleet Street quickly became the face of Stanford a cappella for Stanford alumni across the country.〔
Even from the start, Fleet Street's focus included not only barbershop music and University standards but also more comedic pieces, but the group takes pride in performing songs from traditional genres and continues to sing many of them today.〔〔
