Tim Waurick (born 1981) is a barbershop tenor singer, and coach for various barbershop choruses and quartets. Waurick creates learning tracks – recordings in which one part is dominant and the others are sung softly in the background – for the Barbershop Harmony Society, Sweet Adelines International, and various other quartets and choruses around the world.[1] His learning track company is named TimTracks.[2]

Waurick grew up and currently lives in Levittown, Pennsylvania. He used to live in St. Peters, Missouri, after graduating in 2007 from Lindenwood University in St. Charles, Missouri.[3] He coaches men's and women's barbershop quartets and choruses worldwide, and is one of the few barbershop enthusiasts who has managed to turn his hobby into a profession. Waurick performs with Vocal Spectrum, who took the gold medal in the collegiate Barbershop Quartet Contest in 2004[4] and the International Barbershop Quartet Contest in 2006.[5] Waurick also serves as the tenor section leader of the 2016 International Barbershop Chorus Champions the Ambassadors of Harmony.[3] He has released several solo multi-track albums.[6]

Waurick was selected in 2008 to be tenor of a Fantasy Gold Quartet, together with bass Jeff Oxley, baritone Tony DeRosa, and lead Joe Connelly;[2] then again in 2015 with lead Mike Slamka, bass Jim Henry, and baritone Tony DeRosa.[7] In 2022, Waurick was inducted into the Barbershop Harmony Society's Hall of Fame, along with DeRosa and Connelly.[8]
