We are the PopTones Vocal Ensemble.

Like a choir, we're a group of singers performing beautiful and complex vocal harmonies, but that's about where the similarities end. Our concerts are filled with songs by the Beatles, Simon & Garfunkel, Michael Jackson, The Zombies, the Bee Gees, Radiohead, Fleet Foxes, and dozens of other artists in every modern genre of music. We wear skinny ties, jeans, and a bright pink shirt to get your attention. Our audiences don't sit and listen respectfully; they cheer and dance and sing along. 

The PopTones are led by its co-creator duo, director Lisa "Dee" Perusse, a visionary conductor whose love of equal parts choral and rock music inspired the group's creation, and guitarist Jake Shenker. 

As of Spring 2023, we have moved to a drop-in format where we rehearse a single song per reherasal and film our performance at the end. We no longer do classic-format live concerts. This new format increases accessibility for those members who want to enjoy singing with us but cannot commit to weekly rehearsals.
