What's New
We have in hand many many copies of "Fragments" which is our 9th CD. We're very excited to have it in time for Shore Leave! Look for it at our gigs, and eventually on iTunes!
We just spent our first night mixing 5 tracks already recorded. Things are going great and we will have about 10 tracks on our next CD (title TBD!). Release date sometime mid-summer!
Just Announced: We'll be at Escape Velocity - a brand new Science Fiction convention and STEAM event - on Saturday July 2. More info on our Concerts page!
After way too many years, we're in the studio again, working on a new album! Lots of photos on our Facebook page, so check them out!
We all had a great time today singing for Acaville Radio - we'll have a half-hour interview (along with some songs) in their programming later this year. Check them out at acaville.com.
Michelle The Chromies are very pleased to announce that we have found our new alto! Please welcome Michelle Orhan, who wowed us with her gorgeous voice. Michelle is a teacher (music and math) and we think she'll fit in just beautifully with our music geekiness. Look for her in September when we perform at Explore@NASA Goddard - an open house at Goddard Space Flight Center!
We're looking for a new female voice. Will you be the one?
We're very pleased to announce that we will be performing in the Atlas INTERSECTIONS Festival in Washington, DC on Feb 21, 2015. We'll be doing a multimedia AstroCappella show! More info coming soon.
The Chromies had a great time performing at the massive USA Science & Engineering Festival. We did three short sets on Saturday on the Bell Stage and then did the Planetary Scociety podcast on Sunday (with Bill Nye!) and closed the whole event with a long show on the main stage on Sunday afternoon! In between we met loads of fantastic people - all science geeks like us!
We're very happy to have placed second in the A Ca Challenge!!! And it was actually a tie for first place but audience favorite broke the tie! We're very happy and thank all those who cheered us on!

Please welcome our new tenor, Scott Rohrbach! Scott's first performance with us was on Oct 26 and we're very excited about the energy he brings the group and we're looking forward to the new repertoire we may be developing with him! Stay tuned for more!
Our best-selling CD, AstroCappella 2.0, is finally on iTunes!
