Although they are simply four voices and a tambourine, Tonic Sol-fa has spent considerable time on the road carving their niche as the nation’s top vocal group. In the midst of touring, this quartet has been named one of the top five “must see” groups in America, has been awarded numerous original song and album awards in pop, gospel and holiday genres, appeared on NBC’s Today Show and in the pages of Newsweek magazine. Outings with Jay Leno, Shawn Colvin, and Garrison Keillor have propelled album sales to more than 2,000,000 copies (mostly sold from the back of their trailer!) and have earned the group thousands of intensely loyal fans.
The quartet has been voted into the Midwest Music Hall of Fame and have averaged over 150 shows annually in 48 states with music in radio stations and at retail stores nationwide. Recently Tonic Sol-fa’s third public television special was broadcast to over 1,800 stations across the United States. And too, the quartet won their first Emmy Award in the “Musical Composition/Arrangement” category for a song performed in a Toys for Tots PSA (Public Service Announcement).
The New York Times describes Tonic Sol-fa’s sound as “A vocal kaleidoscope…unique to the human voice.” Improvisational and passionate music combined with cutting-edge stage presence is the benchmark by which critics and fans agree: nobody does it like Tonic Sol-fa!
I downloaded and viewed the long awaited video of the TV Special. All I can say is WOW!! I am extremely honored to have been a contributor and to have played a small part in helping this project come to fruition. The audio on my 5.1 Surround sound was absolutely awesome. You guys just keep getting better and better (if that's possible). You are just the absolute best at what you do, and the sound you get from just 4 voices is nothing short of incredible!
Thanks Guys!!
Dave
I'm so glad the show is moving forward..;you guys deserve all the best in everything you do And, i appreciate all the help KickStarter has been. Like the other lady in Florida, I am in West Palm Beach...and there is beautiful concert arena for you to perform in..The Kravis Center. I would love to see you perform there...live...and perhaps even meet you!!! ;-)
Hope to hear your rendition of "We All Need Saving" sometime soon.
I have seen you guys at the Bloomington Civic Plaza theater and at the State Fair - and can't wait for the next show. My kids love your music too - my 4 year old son's favorite is "Highway Patrol". He now wants to be a Cop when he grows up!
We have recently moved to Florida from Minneapolis...think about coming here! We just went to see a Buble concert with an acapella group opening and while they were good, you guys are SOOOO MUCH better! Truly... Melbourne or Orlando, we're here!!!
There are 4 generations of my family that are addicted to your music. We all love listening to the CDs. You guys are a cause worth donating to. See you in Eaton
Wheres your video??
After having seen the guys on PBS (Christmas Special) a few years ago, i was hooked!!!
I'm proud to donate to them,i have all their cd's...and I'm REALLY glad someone donated
enough to hopefully make it easier for the Holiday Special to go on!!!
Keep up the great music guys...(and i'd love the unreleased live track from the show...;)

Those of us in Texas are so grateful that you heard our voice to come to our part of the US. There is a caravan of 8 traveling from just north of Houston Texas to Mt. Pleasant Texas to see your show. Also was extremely proud to donate to your project. Good luck guys, can't wait to see it. Thanks for staying true to yourselves and to what you are so good at: A Cappella! Love it!
I miss being able to see you guys perform live since moving to the Seattle area. Would love it if you would do a show in WA State. Two venues that would be a possibility are the Puyallup Fair (not quite as big as the MN State Fair, but what is?) or Chateau St. Michelle (great winery w/ outdoor concert facilities).
Great news that a new TV show is comming ! The only thing that is missing from my arsenal of TSF is a live show that I could attend ! You guys never went (or did you?) near where I live (Montreal, Quebec, Canada). It would be nice if you come let say anywhere in N-Y state, Vermont or even better Montreal! I can afford a few hours drive with my family but not the 20 hours or so up to St Cloud MN.
By the way my kids (2yo, 4yo and 6yo) all love your music and ask often for your songs or DVD in the car. They named you in French "Les Gars qui chantent" (could be translated as "The guys who sing").
Good work guys! Continue your good work !
