The average woman would rather have beauty than brains, because the average man can see better than he can think.

Tanner Smith

Year of Graduation: 2013
Voice Part: Bass
Favorite Overtones Song: Guilty Pleasures 3, Alone
Tanner "The Ghost Man" Smith was born in sunny Orange County California to a family of smurfs. Not wanting Tanner to go through life as a tiny blue man, his parents sent him to the closest nuclear testing facility, receiving a sum of $384.23 for their contribution to science. After growing several feet and losing his blueish complexion, Tanner embraced the OC lifestyle, spending his time surfing, tanning, and babe-watching. On an impromptu cross-country longboard expedition, Tanner rolled into room 204 of the JMU Music Building where the Overtones were holding auditions. Behind his charming smile, Tanner remains a man of mystery. His frequent absence in the early days of Fall semester 2009 led the Overtones to question his whereabouts. CIA involvement is still suspected. In his spare time, Tanner practices the art of impressions, his favorite target being our very own Bobby Creedon.

David John Little. He was raised by a pack of wolves, and is indeed the Prince Wolf Boy. He was thrown into civilization and socialization when he entered JMU, and further humanized by A Cappella. We have taught him the ways of the human world. He quickly learned to walk upright, and has recently discovered indoor plumbing. We are so very proud of our young wolf boy.

Meghan Verducci

Megan


Major: Something Boring
Hometown: Whoville
Year of Graduation: ????
Voice Part: Sopralto (Soprano/Alto)
Favorite Overtones Song: That one that Craig sang on the second album... it was awesome.
Position: Public Relations Chair

Meghan Verducci is the love child of Usher, Jennifer Lopez, and Mini Me. Growing up in the NoVa projects, Verducky (as she's known on the streets) had to pop, lock, and riff her way out of a rumble or two. After a brief stint as a middle school football coach, Meghan informed The Overtones that she would be joining their group in the Fall of 2008.  Meghan is the staple 'smiley face' of the Overtones, and is the queen of 'turning that frown upside down'. Her interests include weaves, restoring vintage automobiles, and 'I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant'. Look out for her on The Real World 2020: Six Flags New Jersey

MaryMargaret Walsh

MaryMagaret


Major: Communication Studies
Minor: Music Industry
Hometown: New Kent, VA
Year of Graduation: 2012
Voice Part: Soprano
Favorite Overtones Song: Guilty Pleasures 2, Wanderer, Roll to Me
Position: President
When MaryMargaret was born her parents knew she was destined for great things, such great things that it was decided her first name needed to be two. Her early childhood was filled with cotton candy and super-sweet novelties like Thumbellina and Ferngully. That was until the tender of age of 6 when she was forced to work in the "family business." She spent ten years selling illegal bootleg movies and Jessica Simpson's unsold albums. By the age of 16, she found herself alone, homeless, and hungry on the streets of New Kent, Virginia when the Walsh family decided to take her in. Her barbaric street instincts were hard for the Walsh's to understand at first. She spent a year in an incubator before her new parents decided she could channel her emotions through music. It was when MaryMargaret saw the Overtones singing to a packed crowd at Jimmy's Mad Jam that she knew she had found her calling. Since Fall of 2008, she has brought her magical voice and unique charm to the Overtones. She can be seen around campus belting her heart out and at times begging people for money and food scraps. (Like the ancient proverb says, "old habits die hard")

When I first made the group, the Overtones kept talking about how great Mickey was and how they loved his house. I felt left out so I told them how I loved Disney World too! ...don't know why they laughed.
