SomeKindaWonderful at the Studio at Webster Hall

In 2013, a disillusioned Jordy Towers left Los Angeles, California, where he was hoping to make it big as a singer. While visiting family in the small town of Olmstead Falls, Ohio, he met guitarist Matt Gibson and drummer Ben Schigel. Three hours later, they recorded the song "Reverse." Since then, the song generated nearly two million streams on Spotify, Pandora and Soundcloud. The Cleveland-based trio added vocalist/percussionist Sarah Dyer and bassist/keyboardist Steve Basil. SomeKindaWonderful released its self-titled debut album on June 23, 2014.

Making its New York debut tonight at the Studio at Webster Hall, SomeKindaWonderful left an impression. Emotive singing with stinging guitar licks and funky bass lines made for a sparse rock and soul groove that propelled a series of radio-crafted pop compositions. One song had a reggae lilt, another felt like it was written in a gospel church, and several were born of Towers' hip hop roots. SomeKindaWonderful defied genres, but ultimately may find a home within the burgeoning neo-soul movement.
