Tonic Sol-Fa

In their twelve years together, Tonic Sol-fa has established itself not only as the most in-demand vocal group in the Midwest, but also as one of the most successful independent acts in America. In addition to substantial CD sales of its own independent releases (1,000,000 copies sold and counting), the group has toured extensively throughout the US and abroad, building their financial base with a steady list of festivals and private shows that eventually led to sold-out tours of theaters and small arenas.Tonic Sol-fa began at St. John's University with baritone Mark McGowan and lead vocalist Shaun Johnson while both were attending in the mid 1990s.

When I attend a Tonic Sol-Fa concert i am never disappointed. They have such a unique sound and very professional. My only wish is that each of the guys arent featured as the lead singer in songs. It was my first show with the Big Band Experience. I enjoy that era of music. Thank you guys keep up the good work!!

Tonic Sol-Fa always puts on a great show! My husband and I have been going to their concerts now for about 6 years. I wouldn't miss it for the world! Find them on Facebook and iTunes to learn more about them!

Great holiday show, as usual. Tonic versions of classic Christmas songs, as well as some new songs that make us anxious for the next Christmas CD. Awesome medley of most requested holiday songs, as well as their own special version of the Twelve Days of Christmas. Great use of lighting and backdrop curtains make it appear that Greg is much more limber than he really is!!! ;-)

The show was very entertaining and would go again. The only downfall were the seats. We sat at the right hand side of the theather, second row, seats 4, 5, and 6. Since the show was set up by placing a huge speaker and a Christmas tree on the corner of the stage, our seats were obstructed. When placing my order for tickets if I would have known the seats would have been obtructed, I wouldn't have purchased them.

I have always enjoyed attending the Holiday Concert by Tonic Sol-Fa. It is always very energetic, humorous and still very seasonally inspiring with the beautiful blend of the four voices of Shawn, Greg, Mark, and Jarrod. It is always a treat to see what Plastic Santa will do or say.

I would recommend this to every one of my friends. My husband I go every year at Christmas and love it when they are at the State Fair. Going to their Christmas Concert is one our Christmas traditions now.

This show was a very good show to experience. The guys of Tonic Sol-fa were very down to earth, had great voices and were great performers. Songs performed were really excellent, great harmonies and the bassist really thumped the whole night!!!

This Christmas show was fanominal! These 4 good-looking guys can really sing! I have followed them for 3 years now. Seen them twice at the Folly this year and last year. And also saw them in Warrensburg, MO on the CMSU campus, They put on a clean yet very comical show. They appear to totally enjoy singing and entertaining us. I know they perform the same show every night during the Chrismas holiday on their tour, however they perform like it is their opening night every time!

What a Kick! Christmas can now come. I've had my Tonic sol FA fix! I would recommend the show to both young and old. Amazing harmony, great laughs, fun to see in person, I have watched their Christmas DVD for a couple of years (my wrapping gifts, music) and this is the 2nd year they have come to KC!

The concert was amazing. I love acapella and they do a magnificient job. The volume was a little bit loud.

Tonic Sol-Fa had amazing voices and were fun entertainers with great personalities and humor. The only thing my girlfriends and I were disappointed about was that it was too short. Maybe this is due to how they have to use their voices, but it felt as though they had an airflight to catch. Intermission seemed to come a little too early and after intermission they sung about 3 songs and then said "Good Bye". That was the only disappointment. They should have performed a little longer. Otherwise, they were great! I would go see them again.

It was a good show but the sets could be longer. Minus the half hour break, the total was 1.25 hour. Otherwise very good, love that bass.

Tonic Sol-Fa is a group I got to know when they appeared at the band shell at the State Fair. I liked them then, and it was a real treat to have the opportunity to see them again. They are simply a terrific set of 4 great individual voices that blend together about as well as 4 voices can blend. It's so refreshing to hear music that isn't ramped up with electronic equipment that is so loud it's impossible to tell whether the performers behind it can sing at all. Their acapella performance was thoroughly entrancing, and their backup sounds, though laughable at times, were clearly designed make their music unique and appealing. I hope they return to Rochester soon. I will be the first in line at the ticket office to see them again.

I have seen them at their free show at the State Fair and have never been disappointed. They are entertaining and provide a good time. I think my favorite is their rendition of the twelve days of Christmas.
