NORI is Akina Adderley on vocals, Erik Telford on trumpet, Nick Litterski on keys, Aaron Allen on upright bass, and Andy Beaudoin on drums. Festival Peak proclaims Nori as “a five-person gift from Austin, TX.”
On this special evening, the band will celebrate the 10-year anniversary of the release of their debut album World Anew. Additionally, they will be joined by a world-class string trio.
World Anew received much critical acclaim upon its release in 2016:
“Nori’s debut full length dissolves divisions and builds bridges between world sounds with seemingly irreconcilable differences. It’s a sonic vision of a harmonious future.”
– KUTX
“Lyrics that are pure poetry.”
– AXS
“They don’t use their skills to highlight themselves...They practice generous virtuosity.”
– Designing & Neighboring
“World Anew gives notice that the ensemble’s rare genius is for making listeners hang rapturously on every word and gesture sung and played.”
– Jazz da Gama
