MOST EMBARRASSING MOMENT ON STAGE : When I sang two full songs thinking there was a problem with the mike. I finally asked the sound guy to fix it after trying to nonchalantly get his attention. After making him scramble all over the place, I realized it was a mike with an On/Off switch that I had accidentally switched off during a song...sorry, my bad.

BIOGRAPHY :

Tony Ridenour was raised in Grass Valley / Nevada City, CA. He studied in choirs ever since he was a young boy.

During his elementary years, Tony learned to play the piano - and still plays till this day.

When he went to Nevada Union High School, he was the choir's star singer with incredible pitch - and an amazingly high voice.

Later, he studied at American River College where he took his music to new heights with Music Theory.

With Boyz Nite Out, Tony found his niche, singing a cappella to the fans delight as well as introspective, groovin' original compositions. Tony is incredible on stage and a great stage presence.

Tony's voice has been featured on several leads of BNO as well as several of the band's commercials.

He has well known for having the "highest voice" many have heard - and the best splits.
