Influences
Cornell Hangovers, Yale Whiffenpoofs, Brown Derbies, Simon & Garfunkel, Electric Light Orchestra, Hues Corporation, Squeeze, The Beatles, painfully slow old English folks songs (with added vocal percussion), the Partridge Family (after a long visit to New Delhi), Dean Friedman, Bill Williams, Elvis, The Trogs, Paul Carrack, Gabriel Mann.
This Washington D.C.-based vocal band delights audiences from coast to coast with its dynamic blend of tight harmonies, inventive arrangements and keen wit. In a few choreographed minutes, the Tone Rangers propel through 900 years of Western music--from Gregorian chant to classic rock to TV theme songs--in a fresh approach to contemporary a cappella music and comedy. National finalists in the 2002 Harmony Sweepstakes (the Superbowl of a cappella), the Tone Rangers are also three-time winners of Mid-Atlantic "Audience Favorite" and "Best Arrangement" awards.
we are very happy to tell you about the first a cappella festival taking place in Sweden! Sept 10-14 2008 in Västerås Concert House - 4 days with concerts, master-classes, workshops, seminars... and meeting with singers from all over the world.
