Meet Well Strung studs Trevor Wadleigh and Chris Marchant who will compete on “The Amazing Race”

I’m currently working on a story about the openly gay singing strung quartet Well Strung who next month are performing at the Los Angeles LGBT Center’s Renberg Theatre.

They are not only a talented quartet but also very attractive. Two of the guys, Trevor Wadleigh and Chris Marchant, decided to compete on the CBS reality competition The Amazing Race which premieres on Wednesday, January 3.

Here is some background on the two competitors who share a little about themselves:

We’ve kicked ass together in music for a while now. It’ll be fun to use our skill sets in innumerable other ways. Chris is definitely the yin to my yang. We complement one another’s shortcomings exceedingly well.
