What they say…
“[A] very sophisticated soundscape full of soul!”

Berlin and San Diego based band The Everettes have been an insider tip in the soul landscape for a few years now. Their danceable music is rooted in Northern Soul, Stax and Motown and with their three female singers they carry the magic of the 60s girl groups into the present.
With a lot of charm, likeable performances and their self-titled debut album released in 2020, The Everettes have won themselves an international audience and have been a permanent fixture at the renowned Baltic Soul Weekender since 2019, among other things. Their trademark is their melodies and the special blend of the three characters of their lead singers. There is Jess Roberts, originally from the north of England and now at home in San Diego, California, who has already released singles on Acid Jazz and brings a lot of power to the trio with her bluesy timbre. Whereas Katharina Dommisch captivates with a soft, clear voice reminiscent of Carole King or Karen Carpenter, while Laura Niemeyer‘s singing carries a lot of warmth and classic soul vibes. Behind them is a solid band with a driving rhythm section and pointedly placed horns, supplemented here and there by shimmering strings.
The Everettes follow in the musical footsteps of Motown girl groups, Stax and Northern Soul, and their second album, Soul Steps, set for release in April 2023, features lead vocals and harmonies from all three singers.
