Naturally 7

Seven guys with rich harmonies, an unbelievable ability to replicate instruments, and a stage presence that can be felt from every seat...they are a band without a band.

The members of Naturally 7 met in school and gospel choir and quickly discovered that they were doing more than just singing songs; they all discovered perfect hypervocal capabilities. That's why they call their music "vocal play." Every band member has his preferred style or favorite songs, and together they can interpret them all. Naturally 7 summons up soul, rap, rock and folk in one harmonious balance.

...delivered a jaw-dropping vocal symposium. To call them an a cappella group would be a gross understatement, for they performed songs with trumpets, electric guitars, bass cello, harmonica, a full drum kit, and more—using only their voices.

These days they have famous fans such as Michael Bublé (whom they joined on three world tours), Coldplay (see their version of "Fix You"), Quincy Jones (who called them "best a-cappella band worldwide"), Herbie Hancock (listen to their tribute to Herbie Hancock), and many others.

Their repertoire is a mix of their own compositions and cover versions.

This year they are celebrating their 20th anniversary which will be accompanied by new releases and remixes of famous hits (such as "Wall of Sound").

Naturally 7 is:

Naturally 7 is technically an a cappella group. However, listening to some of their most memorable performances – both live and in the studio – is to be struck with the realization that you are hearing drums, bass, guitars and keyboards. How can this be true?....Listeners cannot help but be impressed by the technical skill that these seven men display as they switch from vocalists to instrumentalists.

Soul Tracks

Listen to Naturally 7's interpretation of "Summer Breeze." All the sounds you hear are made by the human voice. (Even the drums, as you'll see just after the 3½-minute mark.)

Watch Naturally 7 bring a cappella to a new level with their performance of the original composition, "Wall of Sound." (Be sure to watch till the end!)
