DESCRIPTION:
The O-Tones is a hot Swing and Motown band from Western Massachusetts. With three singers as the core of the band, The O-Tones will melt your hearts with their powerful three-part vocals. Whether they're singing their rendition of a 1940's swing tune, or belting out a Motown number, Ann Percival, Zack Danziger, and Mary Witt make each song they sing a hit. In addition to blending their tones as harmony singers, they are each extremely compelling solo singers. From sentimental ballads to upbeat Soul and Rhythm & Blues, they will charm you and make you want to jump and jive on the dance floor. Ann, Mary, and Zack also form part of the driving rhythm section of The O-Tones, lending their talents on rhythm guitar, bass, and lead guitar respectively. Kerry Blount's soulful sax adds heat while Walt Chapman, king of Boogie Woogie piano style and organ riffs, rocks the group along. Along with Pieter Struyk on the drums, the pulse of this band is fiery for dancing or listening.

I hired them for an occasion that may not be their usual gig,a retirement and cancer recovery celebration .They were playing several benefits locally that were dance parties and I heard they were great for that with plenty of swing and other danceable music but lots of 40s through 80s as well including jazz and classic rock. They were sensitive,accommodating and professional. They've got singers who do torch and harmonies and a full sound with multiple instruments. Everybody had a great time and I would recommend them for sure.
