Brian Eichenberger was born May 16th, 1976 and grew up in a suburb of Minneapolis called Apple Valley, Minnesota. He got his first taste of jazz harmonies in high school, when a vocal group he sang in tried Take 6's arrangement of A Quiet Place. "When I plunked out my part on the piano, the lines didn't make any sense at all. I was confused. A few weeks later, everyone was getting a handle on their parts and this amazing thing happened. When all these weird parts were sung together, it just floored me…What a beautiful sound!"

He went on to study jazz theory and harmony at Phil Mattson's School for Music Vocations in Creston, Iowa. "There were about 50 music students, living in the middle of nowhere, with nothing to do except play, sing, eat, sleep and breathe music."

Two years later, In 1996 The Four Freshmen were looking for a new member to play bass and sing the second part. With a strong recommendation from Phil Mattson and an audition, Eichenberger got the job. A few years later, Eichenberger moved up to lead singer. He is only the third lead singer in the Freshmen’s history. "I really enjoy singing the melody. I don't have to think about the notes as much, and I can put more focus on phrasing, tempos and the overall sound we make as an ensemble."

When not touring with the Four Freshmen, Brian works in his home studio on recording projects as an arranger, singer, and producer. He also enjoys spending time with his wife, Rebecca and daughter, Marisa.

Curtis Calderon joined the Freshmen in late 2001. Three years earlier he had a chance meeting when the Freshmen came through San Antonio and saw him performing at the Landing Jazz Club on the riverwalk that led to him being called when their current trumpet player decided to retire from the group.

Curtis grew up in San Antonio, TX and started trumpet at the age 11. He won first chair in the Texas All-State Jazz band his senior year in high school. After graduating, he went on to play and tour with many big bands, including the modern day Glenn Miller Orchestra.

He currently lives in San Antonio, TX with his two sweet and gentle 100lb Rottweilers.

Some of his musical influences early on were Clifford Brown (his favorite trumpeter), Louis Armstrong, Miles Davis, Dexter Gordon and John Coltrane. His current favorites on his Ipod are Stevie Wonder, Jason Mraz, Louis Armstrong and Joe Henderson.

Vince Johnson sings baritone and plays bass, guitar and trombone. He was born September 3, 1970, and raised in San Luis Obispo, California.

In junior high, Johnson knew he wanted to be a musician. He says he has all the Four Freshmen albums and practically wore out the "Voices in Love" cassette while driving his car around town in his school days.

Johnson brings a distinguished résumé to the Freshmen. Johnson received his Bachelor of Music Degree from California State University Long Beach in 1994 and his Master’s Degree in Jazz Studies from USC in 1996. His musical experiences vary from playing principal bass in a symphony orchestra to playing drums throughout his childhood (lucky neighbors!). Before joining The Freshmen in 1999, Johnson worked as an accompanist, educator and performer.

He fills what little free time he has between shows staying fit by swimming, running and playing golf. The Four Freshmen and Take 6 are his favorite musical groups.

Bob Ferreira began his career with the group when he was approached by former instructor and 'Freshmen' alumnus Kirk Marcy with an offer to audition for the renowned vocal group. One month after auditioning, Bob found himself moving to the group's home base of Las Vegas, NV. Ferreira's music studies started comparatively late in life when he started taking drum lessons his sophomore year in High School. Vocal training began Bob's Junior year when he joined the Symphonic Choir and eventually the vocal Jazz ensembles. After High School, Bob attended Edmonds Community College in Lynwood, Washington where he joined the regionally renowned vocal jazz ensemble 'Soundsation' under the direction of Kirk Marcy. After 2 years of performing with 'Soundsation' and 1 year playing drums in the alternate vocal jazz lab, Bob transferred to Central Washington University majoring in music education. After one year, in 1992 Bob joined the Freshmen and moved to Vegas where he still lives today. Bob has performed to audiences in 50 states and 8 countries and the travels only grow more frequent.
