Reference letters are available upon request. Introducing band members: The Test-Tone Babies Darren Osborn – an accomplished percussionist – has been performing in venues and professional recording studios, across the continent, since he was a youngster of sixteen. Starting out in Nashville's professional recording circuit, Darren honed his skills of precision and finesse required to perform any genre of music that has the ability to transform your experience. Brian Basco's performance has been described as “spine tingling”; “a unique and spontaneous performance with the audience”; and “a ride to the edge and back.” Beginning his career at the age of sixteen, Brian has also performed across the US and Canada in rock, country and R&B bands. Being a multi-instrumentalist has given him the fantastic ability to layer keyboard sounds from other instruments during the live shows, which entices the audience experiencing it to tonal climax. His smooth vocal, added to the mix, is a sweet tonal sensation. Darren and Brian, together, were in the house band at the Western Sky Club in Bossier, Louisiana during the 1990's. Their rendition of country and rock packed the house to the capacity of 700 people every night for three years. Gary Graves, like the rest of the band, has been a professional in the music business all of his life and plays the bass like no other. He's grooved with the best of them too…including Paul McCartney. Gary's unique vocal quality adds a punky flare to the tried and tested tones of The Test-Tone Babies. Audiences have long been raving about Denise (ONYA) Spohn's vocals since her first performance on stage at the age of fourteen. In the past, she has been noted for her rock, country and R&B vocals.
