The O-Tones !!!!!
The O-Tones is a hot Swing, R&B, and Motown band. With three singers, The O-Tones will melt your hearts with their powerful three-part harmonies, as well as solos. Whether they're singing their rendition of a 1940's swing tune, or belting out a contemporary R&B number, Ann Percival, Zack Danziger, and Mary Witt make each song they sing a hit. From sentimental ballads to upbeat soul and blues, they will charm you and make you want to jump up and dance.
Walt Chapman, king of Boogie Woogie piano style and organ riffs, rocks the group along. Pieter Struyk on the drums maintains the pulse of the band. And Kerry Blount's soulful sax adds heat.
The horns of The O-Tones add pizzazz to their mixed repertoire. On the classic soul numbers like Mustang Sally, audiences jump to their feet once they feel the horns jump start the tune. Ike Turner's Fool in Love lends itself well to the drive of the winds and brass. Having the horn harmonies add their flavor to the old favorites Makin' Whoopie and Almost Like Being in Love reminds us all of the big band era from days gone by.
