The Fabulous Dee-Tones

JOHN F. KENNEDY WAS PRESIDENT AND DOO-WOP WAS KING WHEN THE DEE-TONES GOT THEIR START. DENNIS DE RENZO, ART LANGAN, AND JACK PLUMLEY, MARINES STATIONED TOGETHER AT QUANTICO, VIRGINIA, PLAYED THE LOCAL CLUB SCENE IN THE WASHINGTON, D.C.-MARYLAND-VIRGINIA AREA, DEVELOPING A UNIQUE VOCAL STYLE AND A SOLID FAN BASE IN THE PROCESS. THE TRIO SPLIT UP AND DIDN'T SEE EACH OTHER AGAIN UNTIL 1999 WHEN DERENZO, A PROFESSIONAL MUSICIAN, MOVED TO LARGO, FLORIDA AND CONTACTED LANGAN, WHO DURING THE INTERVENING YEARS HAD BEEN A SUCCESSFUL STAGE AND FILM ACTOR. THEY GOT TOGETHER, AND "IT WAS LIKE THE YEARS NEVER WENT BY AS FAR AS THE SINGING GOES". THE REST, AS THE SAYING GOES, IS HISTORY. SOUNDING AS FRESH AND DYNAMIC AS EVER...THE DEE-TONES ARE BACK !

We still play, mostly private functions, around the Tampa Bay (Florida) area and plan to continue as long as we can still stand up on stage.

We grew up during the golden age of doo-wop and true rythmn and blues. Dion and the Belmonts were a great influence on our style.
