About
Following electrifying headline performances at the Montreux Jazz Festival and Madison Square Garden (NYC), touring the world as special guests of Michael Buble, and sensational live TV appearances, Naturally 7 toured Australia for the first time with their new album VocalPlay.
Naturally 7 combine gospel, Motown, hip hop, rap, drum and bass, beatboxing and soulful R&B in a must-be-seen-to-be-believed style they’ve named vocal play. They lend their stunning vocals to some of pops greatest hits, not just singing the lyrics, melodies and harmonies, but also emulating all the musical instruments in every spectacular performance.
Roger Thomas (musical director, arranger, 1st Baritone, Rap), Warren Thomas (percussion, guitar, clarinet, 3rd tenor), Rod Eldridge (1st tenor, scratching, trumpet), Jamal Reed (4th Tenor, electric guitar), Dwight Stewart (2nd baritone), Garfield Buckley (2nd Tenor, Harmonica) and “Hops” Hutton (Bass).
