May 20 Soundevr Funk, RnB, Pop, Jazz and House Music group
SoundEVR is a band centered around making music that gets people to dance, drawing
from Funk, RnB, Pop, Jazz and especially House Music. The band originally formed in
2016 in Oberlin, Ohio under the leadership of Daniel Spearman. After a number of
dormant years, and a move to Philadelphia, PA, the band reformed in 2023. When you
come to a SoundEVR show, expect a musical experience expertly curated to get the
adrenaline pumping and the body moving. Our goal isn’t just to play the hits, but to
weave together musical moments that keep the energy high, much like a DJ that is in
sync with their audience. We believe there is no greater feeling than seeing people
vibing to our music, so if you aren’t dancing, we aren’t doing our job. SoundEVR
brings together some of Philadelphia’s most talented musicians. Collectively, they
have performed throughout the city of Philadelphia, hitting the stages of The
Brooklyn Bowl, City Winery, Time, Chris’s Jazz Cafe and the Black Squirrel Club
among many others.
