Maine State Music Theatre Welcomes Back A Cappella Group, Toxic Audio, 7/26

The Grammy-nominated a cappella quintet Toxic Audio returns to Maine State Music Theatre to perform their repertoire of new sounds and old favorites. The fantastic phonic five will take the Pickard Theater stage on the campus of Bowdoin College on Monday, July 26 at 7:30pm. Tickets range from $17-$30 and can be purchased by calling the Box Office at 207-725-8769 or by visiting the MSMT website at www.msmt.org.

In 1998, Toxic Audio launched its quirky show in an abandoned storefront at the Orlando International Fringe Festival. To their amazement, people began cramming into that storefront to see them. The show caught the attention of Disney executives who hired them as featured performers at the Disney/MGM Studios. Soon after, the group was crowned champion at the National Harmony Sweepstakes in California.

In the year 2003, Toxic Audio's album, Chemistry was named "Album of the Year" by the Contemporary A Cappella Society of America. The group has made national TV appearances with Ed McMahon and Wayne Brady, and even got to sing a reggae-style weather report on ESPN2's morning show "Cold Pizza". Toxic Audio also won the 2004 Drama Desk Award for "Unique Theatrical Experience" for their Off-Broadway Show in New York's John Houseman Theatre where they continue to electrify audiences by exploring the boundaries of the human voice.

Toxic Audio has made a strong impact on MSMT audiences in the past. Their rich harmonies and vocal texturing create the aural illusion of a full band without any instruments but their voices. From rap to be-bop, from scat to doo-wop, the range of their vocal talents has been astounding audiences across the country and MSMT is proud to welcome them back for the 2010 season.
