SoundEVR / The Sunrae Collective / Jonill

SoundEVR:
SoundEVR is a band centered around making music that gets people dancing, drawing
from Funk, RnB, Pop, Jazz and House Music. The band consists of Bandleader/Trumpeter
Daniel Spearman, guitarist Elijah Cole, keyboardist Lonell Johnson III, bassist Timothy
Ragsdale, drummer Matthew Chenery, and the newest addition, powerhouse vocalist
Bekah Elaine. 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. We believe there is no greater feeling than
seeing people vibing to our music, so if you aren’t dancing, we aren’t doing our job.
SoundEVR brings together some of Philadelphia’s most talented musicians.
The Sunrae Collective:
The Sunrae Collective is a shape-shifting band experience led by emcee, flautist, and
multidisciplinary artist Rae.Dianz. Formed from the spirit of improvisation and
collaboration, the collective brings together rotating musicians across the Tri-State from
jazz, hip hop, and soul scenes to create expansive, healing soundscapes rooted in live
energy and lyrical storytelling. After years of performing under Rae’s solo name — from
Sofar Sounds sets to stages like LOVE Park and the W Hotel — the collective now
emerges as a named force, fusing hip hop’s grit with jazz’s elasticity and funk’s theatric
pulse. No two shows are the same, but every performance is a ritual of connection,
liberation, and Black sonic innovation.
