Naturally

The surprise highlight of the Michael Buble concert was the opening gig.

The group Naturally 7 hails from New York and perform acapella - or as they prefer to call it, vocal play. All harmony and instrumentation are performed by the human voice...the drummer, bass and electric guitar were highly impressive, while the harmonica was original and very well-done.

Initially, I was certain they were utilizing background percussion to supplement their vocals, but was astounded when each of them "played their instruments" individually. Wow! These are some seriously talented guys who are comparable to, and might even eclipse, such groups as The Nylons, m-pact, Octapella and rockapella. These are all accomplished and talented acapella mens groups, but I think Naturally 7's instrumentals have surpassed them all. Their sound is more authentic...especially the bass and drums, and their voices are strong and rich.
