Culminating 2013, Philly
Sound Sessions held its last music showcase of the year, last
Tuesday, December 3, at Voltage Lounge, in Northern Liberties. The event was
hosted by Trizzy the
Mouth.
Known for featuring some of the City's dynamic acts, Philly Sound Sessions
hosted a diverse showcase of musicians, MC's, dancers, and composers, who
performed, and displayed, original songs and production.
In classic Philly Sound Session fashion, live music was a part of the event
with drummer Joey Stix (Astronauts
Really Fly), and sounds by DJ Jovi
Baby.
The genres that dominated the night were rhythm and
blues, female MC’s, live alternative bands, and instrumental hip-hop
compositions.
The opening act featured VeNT (@TobyVent),
an alternative rock/soul band, whose lead singer Toby blew audiences away with
her powerful vocals and strong lyrics. The band’s robust sound provided an off
kilter night for the seemingly hip-hop centered Philly Sound Sessions. Joe
Jordan Express (@JoeJordanExp),
a Philadelphia alternative band closed the night with their two-man, and
one-woman drummer, might I add, band.
Just
Frenchie (@JustFrenchie),
petite MC, R&B singer, and dancer, began her performances with upbeat tunes
that had the audience rocking! The West Philadelphia native had two back up
dancers accompany her performance, providing additional listening,
and viewing, pleasure for Sound Sessions’ audience. Kayla Enfiniti (@KaylaEnfinitti1),
another Philadelphia native, also provided a rhythm and blues set and even a
soulful cover of Miley Cyrus' "We Can't Stop."
On the production side of things, NJ producer Charlie Heat (@GoodLuckCharlie)
gave the audience one full track and two sample clips for our listening
enjoyment. Both YaDad (@YaDadJB) and
Hunnit Proof (@bullhunitproof) also
premiered some of their original production at the event.
Oakland-born, NY-resident Rich Nitty (@Richnitty) traveled nearly two
hours from NYC to grace the Philly Sound Sessions stage. He shared with the
crowd an anecdote of how, because of his full beard, most cats get him assume
he's from Philadelphia. However, the Cali native performed tracks that paid
homage to his California roots and the grittiness of his New York City
residence. T-Kane (@T_Kane), female
MC from Chester, also performed.
Many exciting people attended the event and many connections were made
among performers, attendees, and other creatives in the crowd.
Happy New Year! Stay tuned to see what #PhillySoundSessions have in
store for 2014.
