SONOS

Everett, WA
FREE Event
In December 2008, Los Angeles vocal collective Sonos debuted at the Hotel Café with a performance that instantly impressed! Emerging from the Southern California college a cappella scene with the singular aim of turning the genre on its head.
Sonos reinvents a 21st century songbook with bolding reinterpretations of vital indie artists who inspire the sextet. Three women and three men of Sonos quest to take a cappella music to a new, more sensual and more musically adventurous destination. The result is spellbinding fusion of ancient and contemporary sounds transformed into mesmerizing vehicles for voices only. Their repertoire also extends to the iconic mainstream, hence their radical trip-hop rendition of the Jackson 5’s “I Want You Back” and their soulful take on Depeche Mode’s “Enjoy the Silence.”
