Marlborough-based Tonehenge to Compete on WGBH's Sing That Thing

MARLBOROUGH, MA- Marlborough’s Tonehenge a cappella group will be competing on Season 5 of WGBH’s Sing That Thing! They’ll tape their episode this Saturday at 9:30 a.m. at WGBH Studios in Brighton.

Tonehenge is a seven-member a cappella group started in 2009 by a group of Boston area men. After singing in high school and college settings, the men wanted to continue with their passion for singing without accompaniment. Some members have been singing their entire adult lives, some took some time off to raise families and are just now coming back to singing

The group can expect plenty of competition as eighteen ensembles representing genres from barbershop and pop to gospel and classical will compete across seven episodes in three age-based divisions. Expert coaches Annette Philip, Anthony Trecek-King and Jared Bowen will guide the groups, offering constructive feedback throughout the season and will ultimately decide which groups will be named the winners in each division and an overall winner in the Grand Finale.

Sing That Thing! premieres April 12 at 8pm on WGBH 2.
