"I discovered Tonic Sol-Fa by accident at the state fair last week. I hadn't been to the fair in several years, but some friends of mine from out of town talked me into going. Then, looking only for a place to sit down and eat, we happened upon the public stage where this excellent group was playing. Wow. What a great sound, totally unlike anything else out there. We were all hooked from the first note. They were performing Eleanor Rigby when we first walked up, then jumped into Man Of Constant Sorrow---a tune I've loved ever since I saw O Brother Where Art Thou, & now have a favorite version of thanks to T.S. After that none of us wanted to leave. Tonic Sol-Fa is awesome, unique, and have a sound people of all ages seem to just love. The crowd was going wild. Do yourself a favor and check out this remarkable talent for yourself. I never thought I was a fan of A cappella before, but now I may have to rethink my views, certainly at least where Tonic Sol-Fa is concerned. As we sat there listening happily, it actually took me 3 or 4 songs to even realize the only instrument they were playing was a single tambourine. Simply amazing. Highly recommended. If you ever get the chance to see them live, by all means go for it, but don't cheat yourself by waiting when they have CD's available. And check out their cool web site at: tonicsolfa.com, for info, tour dates, bios, contacts and more.

Vocal Magic

"This band is one of the finest vocal bands I have ever heard. If they had been around in the 1950's in Brooklyn, we would be hearing them being mentioned in the same breath as Dion and the Belmonts and all the other great vocal groups of the time.



I was first introduced to them by A Prarie Home Companion. They were there because of their new disc "From Boston to Bejing" (buy that one NOW, too). Their voices were made to sing together; their arrangements are just about perfect, and the only problem I have with this disc is that it is far too short!



All the songs are geat, but there are three stand out trax; Eleanor Rigby, Man of Constant Sorrow, and Oklahoma Wind.



If there was any justice in the music business, this band would be a household name."

AWESOME!
