For the members of the Rhode Island-based acoustic duo Tangent, music has always been a journey of coming full circle. Composed of Dorothy Hodge (Providence) and Gary Labossiere (Lincoln), Tangent’s roots trace back to the early 1980s when they first began performing together alongside Geri (Sullivan) Cataldo. Life may have taken them on different paths for a time, but the musical chemistry never faded. In April 2023, Dorothy and Gary found their way back to each other—and back to the stage.

Today, Tangent breathes new life into the soundtrack of our generations, performing acoustic covers of Classic Rock favorites from the 1960s to the present day. If you ask their dedicated following what sets them apart, the answer is always the same: their striking, seamless vocal harmonies and a masterfully curated, memorable songlist that keeps audiences singing along all night.

From intimate local clubs and elegant wedding cocktail hours, to private parties and high-profile corporate events, Tangent brings a polished, full-production experience to every venue. Backed by veteran Sound Engineer Kevin Delaney, their audio is always pristine and perfectly mixed. Plus, with a professional lighting setup ready to go, Tangent ensures your event looks just as spectacular as it sounds.
