About this project

Hello everyone!

The MetropoliTones, New York’s singing-est eclectic group of harmonic heartbreakers, is heading to the recording studio this spring to cut a fantastic album! We’ll be recording everything from original compositions to jazz to french pop, and we need your help. We’re fundraising so we can spend as much time recording and mixing as possible with our favorite recording engineer in Woodstock.

We’re lucky enough to have amazing friends, family and fans who have supported us endlessly in our harmonic endeavors. In return for your support this time, we’ve set up a system of rewards, ranging from a free digital copy of the album to personal concerts to writing or arranging a song just for you! We also have a group member who makes cakes. Do you like cakes?

It’s been 4 years since the Tones recorded our last album, and we’ve accomplished a lot since then! We have new members, a different sound, and lots of new and exciting arrangements. We’ve been performing, singing our hearts out and working really hard this year to prepare for our bright and shiny new CD. This album is going to bring joy into your homes and help us get more gigs! (We just sang the National Anthem for the Jets at their spectacular last game at Giants Stadium - and we're booked to sing at Madison Square Garden in mid-January. How's that for a place to start?!)

We’d be ever so grateful if you’d share in our excitement and take our music home with you! Thanks so much to everyone who’s made it possible for us to get to this point. We’re thrilled and we love you all.
