Description:
622 North welcomes The Nth Power with special guest Threesound to the stage on Friday, October 2, 2015.

Proving that soul music can be exponentially greater than the sum of its parts, The Nth Power is on a mission to share the light. Formed during an impromptu late-night jam at Jazz Fest 2012 in New Orleans, the relentlessly funky and soulful band believes in music as a higher power -- tapping into an energy that is simultaneously sexy and spiritual, with songs that will inspire audiences to dance, groove, make love or just stand there with goose bumps.

The quintet hails from diverse musical backgrounds, races and creeds. Female powerhouse Nikki Glaspie was Beyonce’s world-touring drummer for five years before she joined Ivan Neville’s New Orleans funk outfit, Dumpstaphunk. Bassist Nate Edgar of Groovechild and John Brown’s Body perfectly compliments Singer and Guitarist Nick Cassarino who came from the Jennifer Hartswick Band and toured with Big Daddy Kane. Next add West African Master-Percussionist, Weedie Braimah to the mix with his insurmountable world beat rhythms. Finally rounding off the ensemble is the newest and youngest member, Courtney J’Mell Smith who brings his soulful vocals and keyboard abilities to the table.

Can you imagine a band that plays smooth funky reggae grooves with the song complexity and musicianship of bands like The Dead and The Allman Brothers? Don’t forget that they play with blues rock inspired energy reminiscent of Cream of Joplin. Now I know what you’re thinking...Red Hot Chili Peppers?

Well you’d be right...except there is an elite group of young up and comers whose lyrical content and overall swagger inherent in their music encompasses all of the above. They are known as Threesound.

Formed in the small town of Winchester, Virginia in 2009, Threesound embodies a musical passion that thrives in all music followers. Infectious grooves and harmonious melodies compliment each musicians talent, leading one to wonder how on earth such a young group of kids got so tight. This is Threesound, the band whose music will be respected by mainstream and underground listeners alike.
