Qualls currently composes, arranges for and tours as a lead tenor with the national rock a cappella ensemble “Face.” His most current writing can be heard on many of Face’s albums, including How Was the Show, for which he composed the title track “How Was the Show Last Night,” among other hits. Among Face’s many accolades, they were featured on NBC’s The Sing-Off and performed before the celebrity judges of America’s Got Talent. Along with his travelings with the group, he has received the opportunity to perform for former President Bush Sr., former President Clinton, and received high praise from audience members such as Henry Kissinger, Jimmy Buffet, David Rockefeller, and entertainment mogul Merv Griffin. In addition, Face has shared the stage with Bon Jovi, Clint Eastwood, and the recent chart topping NBC Sing Off champions, Home Free.
