On Aug. 7 the a cappella group will perform at 7 PM at the famed jazz club. Toxic Audio currently features the talents of Jeremy James, Shalisa James, Rene Ruiz, Paul Sperrazza and Michelle Mailhot-Valines. John A. Valines III is the group’s sound designer. Without the use of instruments Toxic Audio, according to a press notes, “create complex sonic textures, rhythmic drumbeats, thumping bass lines and searing guitar-like solos in their performance of contemporary pop songs, timeless classics, jazz-scat and vocally orchestrated original compositions.” In 2004 the group played over 200 performances at Off-Broadway’s John Houseman Theatre.
