Soprano
Carlos Sabo
A long-time member of the Tune-Ups, Carlos has established himself as the loving dad figure of the group. From under-appreciated dad jokes to holding down harmonies with his smooth tenor, Carlos and his big smile have quickly become staples of the Tune-Ups experience.
Tenor
Andrea Schutz
I grew up in Hastings Minnesota where I found my love for music and singing. Went to college at UMD and graduated with a BA in vocal music. Aside from singing you can find me shaking it at a Zumba class or enjoying some good cooking at local restaurants around the cities.
Alto
Tim Mulhair
More than just a pretty face and a sultry baritone, you can find our very own Tim slinging drinks out of MSP - truly the gin to our tonic. When not belting it out on stage, Tim can be found scoring runs with his softball team the Unicorns and making karaoke singers across the Twin Cities second guess their abilities.
Bass
Joe Capacete
Joe is in his second year as the fearless leader of the Tune Ups and he sings Tenor. When not leading the squad or writing code, Joe can be found at the local arcade with skinny jeans and GREAT hair. But sorry ladies, he’s taken.
Tenor
Konnor Fleming
From mandatory 3rd grade Chorus class through collegiate a cappella, Konnor has been singing his whole life. Featured now as a bass of the group, he is just happy to have the chance to keep making glorified fart sounds. When not with the Tune Ups, Konnor can be found eating Chipotle, making people feel alive at Alchemy 365 in Northeast Minneapolis, and then probably eating more Chipotle.
Bass
Josh Schaack
Ever since the proverbial “drop,” this true bass II has been rattling the foundations of concert halls and venues throughout the world. It is legend that when singing Vocal Jazz in Duluth, his mighty bellow was recruited to help communicate with Lake Superior freighters while the Lift Bridge fog horn was down for repairs. True? Maybe... Probable? Absolutely... Between working for the man, frequent trips to the Boundary Waters, and A Capella didgeridoo practice, this oak tree can be found enjoying the outdoors of MN, playing board games, climbing rocks, or crushing the local Karaoke scene. Next time you’re walking down the streets of NE and feel a small earthquake, take a look around because he might be close. Basses unite!
Bass
Ben Foster
Ten years ago, Ben dressed as a giant burrito for Halloween, "wearing" a large plastic garbage can covered in tin foil. He discovered two things: (1) restroom breaks with said costume are very difficult, and (2) one can roll quite far down the street if they trip and fall sideways. When he's not singing (and spitting), Ben spends his hours running his recruiting & HR company, and bonding with his crazy little family.
Baritone + Vocal Percussion
Devin Kling
Devin has spent her whole life obsessed with music in all forms. Singing in various groups while growing up, she absolutely loves having the opportunity to sing with with her friends in the Tune Ups. Aside from music, Devin loves traveling, baking, and exploring the outdoors. She also loves wine tasting...can we consider that a hobby?

Ellie Lockman
Ellie loves singing those sweet, sweet, alto harmonies with the Tune-Ups. In her other life she throws books at paying customers, pushes paying patrons into their seats, and returns home to mother her 4 furbabies. When not working or mothering, she enjoys reading, watching many entertaining shows, and galvanting about with her friends.
Alto
Ben Pollack
Ben grew up singing with the Minnesota Boychoir from 5th grade through high school. He further explored his passion for performance and discovered a love for acapella music while attending Colorado College. He feels blessed to have stumbled across the Tune-Ups while randomly surfing the internet at 3am one night. When not raging on stage, Ben can be found charming middle-aged women as a wait assistant at Spasso in Minnetonka or honing his golf skills in hopes of one day playing professionally.
Tenor
Chelsea Fields
Chelsea graduated from McNally Smith College of Music with degrees in both Audio Engineering and Vocal Performance. Soon after she found her second passion working with infants and toddlers as an early education teacher and singing the same children's songs over and over again. Needing an outlet besides "Mary Had a Little Lamb" she joined the Tune - Ups four years ago. In her spare time she loves playing piano, cooking, cats, and spending time with her husband and child.
