Who's going?!
Tonight at 9
Feb 13 at 4:00 and 7:30.

Bell Ice Cube, is bringing the Games to life in a public showcase at the heart of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games, where visitors can watch Olympic events live in HD, cheer on teams, listen to live music and meet some of world's best athletes, all under one roof.

Under that roof, Bell Ice Cube, located at Robson & Beatty Street in downtown Vancouver is open from 11AM - 11PM. Bell will feature daily guest performances by internationally acclaimed vocal play group, Naturally 7. In addition to their brilliant harmonies, every instrument sound is created by the human voice. From musical styles that range from pop to R&B, Naturally 7 has charmed fans around the world.

Naturally 7, is a group of seven musicians who practice something they call “Vocal Play”. It’s hard to describe their act other than saying each of them used their voices in unison to recreate a different musical instrument from drums to brass instruments to guitars. They made beatboxing look like child’s play. Their Wall of Sound song, earned them a standing ovation.

This group of seven incredibly talented guys originates from New York. They began in 1999 immediately touring throughout Europe.

While in Paris, a record executive suggested they sing on the Paris Metro. The Parisians were blown away and so were almost 4 million people who caught the famous performance on YouTube.

Naturally 7’s turning point came in the fall of 2007 when their quiet success in Europe propelled onto the world stage, performing before millions as the opening act for internationally acclaimed singer Michael Buble throughout the world – where they met nightly standing ovations.

In 2009, the group hit the ground running where they played to a packed house at London’s Pigalle, which included a number of famous faces – Coldplay’s Chris Martin, legendary musician and producer Brian Eno and Natalie Imbruglia. The next day, by invitation the group joined Coldplay and Eno in the studio. From the UK, Naturally 7 travelled to California, where they performed at the prestigious TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) Conference, receiving a standing ovation.

In May they made their national U.S. Television debut on the Ellen Degeneres Show and joined Bublé for a guest appearance on The Today Show. More recently, they opened for Jay Leno in Las Vegas and performed at his ‘Tonight Show’, were guests on Tavis Smiley, performed at NARM, helped celebrate Quincy Jones’ 75th Birthday in Montreux and greeted a hometown crowd at Madison Square Garden. Following that show, they travelled to London to play the renowned Royal Variety Television show, capping the evening off, by meeting His Royal Highness Prince Charles.

With their rich harmonies, an unbelievable ability to replicate instruments and a stage presence that can be felt in every seat of the house, Naturally 7, the first vocal play group ever, are amazing, charming fans where ever they perform.

See Part Two for for Naturally 7’s scheduled performances at Bell during the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games.

You can also find Naturally 7 as Michael Buble’s guests on his “Crazy Love” tour and in March of 2010, The group will release a new CD, entitled ‘VocalPlay’. The package will contain 14 new songs plus a 110-minute- DVD, which features excerpts from their ‘Madison Square Garden’-performance, original interviews and other exclusive footage as well as some of their videos. The CD will feature duets with Grammy-Winner Michael Buble (‘Relax Max’) and German Superstar Xavier Naidoo (‘Wild vor Wut’).

Full disclosure, I personally know this group, have followed their career from the very beginning, and the group serves on the Celebrity Board of Governors of Love Our Children USA with some of their peers Tom Arnold, Tom Bergeron, Melissa Etheridge, Demi Lovato, JoJo, Cameron Mathison, Mandy Moore, Blair Underwood and many others. Love Our Children USA is the national nonprofit leader, working to break the cycle of violence against children, where I am the founder and chief executive officer, and I am thrilled that Naturally 7 supports us.

I can honestly say (even if I didn't know this amazing group) that Naturally 7 is a MUST SEE group. It is one thing to hear them as you will be mesmerized by their music – but it’s an incredible treat to see them in person. You won’t believe this group and once you see them – you will become loyal fans forever!
