Toronto's Tone Rangers launch their debut album @ Hugh's Room, Dec 5

The Tone Rangers string band recorded their much-anticipated Tone On The Ranger album live "off the floor" in just two days! 

Here's the scoop from Tone Ranger Andrew Collins...

Just over a year ago, Chris Quinn, Adam Shier, James McEleney and I got together in a barn, set up some recording gear, a bunch of cameras and recorded our first full album as the Tone Rangers. We recorded 9 tracks on that day, had a follow up half day session this summer to complete recording and we're now excited to announce the official release of our live off the floor album "Tone On The Ranger".  For those who have been following along, we've slowly been putting out singles and videos, so you have a sense of what's on the album.  If you're in the Toronto area, we invite you to celebrate our release on December 5 at the new Hugh's Room Live (296 Broadview Ave) at 8 pm.  Tickets are available right here.

Our new single Half Past Four is out now!  We learned this one from Ed Haley and while it's usually an old time fiddle tune, we've turned it into a bluegrass mandolin tune featuring our mandolin slinger Ace.  You can now stream this anywhere you usually stream music. Facebook friends can check out the footage of "Half Past Four" shot by Mitch Fillion right here. You can also view the Tone Rangers' version of Tom T. Hall's "That's How I Got To Memphis" featuring the smooth vocals of bassist James "Big Mac" McEleney over here. 

We have a few more singles to come, so stay tuned for more! Check out a couple of performances following the Tone Rangers' theme below.
