NATURALLY 7 generates the multifaceted sound cosmos of an entire band, from the sound of drums, to bass, guitar, harmonica, and even trombone – completely without instruments! The 7 men sing a cappella, but are not comparable to many other groups in this genre, as only a few achieve such a perfect sound. Sometimes it's R'n'B, soul, or hip-hop, other times gospel, pop, or even rock. With playful perfection and absolutely impressive musical and interpersonal harmony, NATURALLY 7 consistently provide their audience with unforgettable experiences of an extraordinary kind. In addition to their musical talent, the seven vocal artists are also great entertainers, and their stage presence reaches every corner of the venue, enchanting every visitor.
On the @the Movies Tour 2024, Naturally 7 will perform great songs from Titanic, The Sound of Music, West Side Story, Grease, Jailhouse Rock, 8 Mile, Saturday Night Fever, and many more, including themes from the James Bond films! The show will be bursting with songs that will bring tears, laughter, deep breaths, and wonder! The show is amazing, and the performance may be even better, as Naturally 7 brings these film themes to life alongside many other live show favorites of their fans.
NATURALLY 7 was founded in 1999 by ROGER THOMAS, who, along with his brother WARREN, brought together five other talented singers from the area. The catalyst for this was WARREN, who as a child wanted a drum set. Their mother thought it would be too noisy, so he started imitating various drum sounds vocally and with his mouth, a technique known in hip-hop since the 1980s as "beatboxing." This led to the other band members finding enjoyment in imitating instruments, which subsequently became a trademark of NATURALLY 7. It is also the distinguishing feature from many a cappella groups that mainly focus on singing. What comes so effortlessly from the lips of these seven Americans they call "Vocal Play." In 2007, NATURALLY 7 achieved international breakthrough as the "Special Guest" on MICHAEL BUBLE'S world tours. From 2012, the group performed 467 guest appearances in 25 countries within 2 years, touring all over Europe, Canada, Australia, and the United States.
Their success in Germany was established in 2013 with the number 1 single "Music Is The Key" with SARAH CONNOR and performances at "Night Of The Proms" (2012). The exceptional musicians, including the founding brothers ROGER (musical director, arranger, 1st baritone, and rapper) and WARREN THOMAS (percussion, "guitar," "clarinet," and 3rd tenor), alongside ROD ELRIDGE (1st tenor, "scratching," and "trumpet"), SEAN SIMMONDS (2nd tenor, "harmonica"), RICKY CORT (4th tenor, "guitar"), DWIGHT STEWART (2nd baritone, "trumpet"), and NNAMDI BRYANT (bass), are constantly on the move, as their home is the stage. There, the acoustic illusion of a small big band in various forms can be experienced up close.
Those who witness this can only agree that this is a "Seven Voice World Wonder" ("Die Welt"), or as Michael Jackson producer QUINCY JONES put it: "NATURALLY 7 are the best a cappella band of all time!"
