The Overtones are the premiere co-ed a cappella group at James Madison University. They were founded in 1997, and continue to rock the worlds of anyone and everyone. Their first album, (Un)Necessary Details, was released in 1999. With this album, the song "Ghost" made them the first a cappella group at JMU to make it onto The Best of College A Cappella in 2000. Their second and third albums, Hey What and Interrupted, were released in 2001 and 2003, respectively. By 2006, The OTs were ready to release their fourth album, The Red Room Sessions. This album brought the first original Overtones' song, "Let Go", and the song "Rafiki" was selected for Voices Only 2006. In October 2007 they celebrated their 10-Year-Annivesery in true Overtone style with an alumni filled 10 Year Anniversary Show! In April 2008 they released their fifth album, Bangerang! The song, "They", from that album, was selected for Voices Only 2008. The Overtones sixth and latest album, In The Hot Seat, was released on April 25, 2010 at their Semester End Show. The album features some crowd favorites such as, "Fireflies" (Owl City), "Alone" (Heart), "I Will Come to You" (Hanson), and "The Wanderer" (Marc Broussard) and the Voices Only 2010 pick, Love Today (Mika)!
