Springfield Arts Council “Lawn Chair Lounge” – Wallace & Turner Sponsors NATURALLY 7 Concert
In lieu of the annual in-person Summer Arts Festival, Springfield Arts Council hosted a series of virtual events to enjoy online throughout the summer, dubbed “Summer Arts Festival’s Lawn Chair Lounge.” Wallace & Turner served as a sponsor of the final installment of “Lawn Chair Lounge” with a concert starring the talented NATURALLY 7, bringing their remarkable music to living rooms and patios.
World-renowned NATURALLY 7 guest-starred on three world tours with Michael Buble, a world tour with Coldplay, and won Best Vocal Group on CBS-TV’s prime time World’s Best with James Corden. Performing a mix of pop, rock, and R&B tunes, they stunningly recreate the sound of a full band using just their voices! More than a tightly orchestrated collection of great singers, they transform their voices into actual human instruments, effortlessly producing music of any genre. Their vocal choreography is so perfectly interwoven that they compelled the musical maestro himself, Quincy Jones, to declare that “NATURALLY 7 is the future of vocal music!!”
Watch the concert here and catch cameos by partners Patrick Field and P.J. Miller!
With the cancellation of the 2020 Summer Arts Festival due to COVID-19, the Springfield Arts Council may experience a meaningful, financial challenge as an organization, and needs your support now more than ever. Please consider making a gift to the Springfield Arts Council.
