Huntertones are an American band formed in Columbus, Ohio, in 2010 by saxophonist Dan White, and as of 2025, based in Brooklyn, New York.[3][4] Known for their high-energy sound, the band's line-up also includes trombonist Chris Ott and trumpet/sousaphone player Jon Lampley.[4][1]

Originally named the Dan White Sextet, the band was formed when White, Ott, and Lampley were students at Ohio State University.[1] The Dan White Sextet released their debut album The New York Sessions in 2012.[1] They changed their name to Huntertones in 2014, and have embarked on concert tours across the United States and internationally,[5] with their travels inspiring their 2018 album Passport.[5]
