ABOUT SOUNDEVR

SoundEVR is a band centered around making music that gets people dancing, drawing from

Funk, RnB, Pop, Jazz and House Music.

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.
