Booking the Chromatics
The Chromatics are a six-member mixed-voice a cappella vocal band. We are available for music festivals, concert series, museums, coffeehouses, corporate events, and social functions, including after-dinner entertainment, parties, etc. We perform a variety of music, and have our own professional-quality sound equipment.
Our repertoire runs the gamut from modern pop and rock to doo-wop and a cappella classics, and includes our own special brand of wacky original songs, including - but not limited to - science songs for kids. We also perform a wide variety of carols and songs for the festive season. Our current songlist is available by e-mailing The Chromatics or by downloading our fact sheet. We can also come up with songs customized for your occasion on request, given sufficient notice.
