O-Town

O-Town is an American boy band formed from the first season of the MTV-produced reality television series Making The Band in 2000. The original members of the band were Jacob Underwood, Ashley Parker Angel, Erik-Michael Estrada, Trevor Penick and Dan Miller. After releasing two albums near the end of the boy band fad of the late 1990s and early 2000s, the group disbanded in 2003. Some of their songs remain popular as cover tunes by other groups. The group was originally managed by Lou Pearlman during their first season of Making the Band, but later managed by Mike Cronin and Mike Morin for their debut album and remaining television seasons. The band was named after Orlando, Florida, despite the fact that none of the bandmembers came from the city. However, there''s an ongoing drama playing out as Jacob spent some time in Oakland, CA, where natives have enjoyed being known as the birthplace of O-Town since last August. As with most things "O"...the drama continues.
