Tone Rangers

About Me

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.
