The O-Tones

About

The core of the group is made up of three stellar singers, Mary Witt (bass), Ann Percival (rhythm guitar), and Zack Danziger (lead guitar). Each lending their own flavor, they soar in their solo vocal stylings, while blending smoothly in their harmonies. Add to that hot tenor sax by Kerry Blount, boogie woogie piano & organ by Walt Chapman, and, creative, rock solid drumming by Pieter Struyk, and you’ve got a sound that can’t be beat. With three singers and six instruments, you get the feeling of a big band with horn section. Smaller groupings are also available.
What some happy clients have said about The O-Tones
Thank you and the band for playing at our gala fundraiser. You were perfect. Everyone said how much they enjoyed the music and the dancing and the fact that it was not overpowering. We were very pleased with the results and thank you for your kind words. I am sure there will be requests to have you play for people attending since the were very pleased.

Being dancers themselves, The O-Tones know how to play for dancers. They are excellent and creative musicians who play great styles of music for a wide variety of dancing.

It was so wonderful that you played at Dan and Diane's wedding. It somehow made the world feel whole. And the music was great. I've never seen so many people, of all ages, having such a good time dancing at a wedding.

We cannot thank you enough for entertaining us with your fabulous talent at our wedding! Our guests are still telling us what a great band we had and the energy stayed high all night because of you.
-Annie & Kyle Ravana
The O-Tones use complicated harmonies, tight ensemble playing and a smart, sexy approach to classic tunes to make music that is a celebration of our heritage.
-Christopher Boucher,
Daily Hampshire Gazette
Great music like The O-Tones’ repertoire is timeless. The trio of vocalists have their own style, blending their voices in original ways to fit each song. Each singer is versatile at leads as well as great at harmonizing. ...cool organ and piano excursions as well as soulful sax stylings over a solid rhythm foundation.
