SONiA AND DISAPPEAR FEAR
When listening to the soulful, moving and funky folk tunes of SONiA and Disappear Fear, one
senses something deliberate at work. That's because SONiA doesn't simply make music, she makes poetry and raises awareness about oppression in all its shapes and forms. Each note and each lyric contributes to the depth of sound and meaning. But as her lyrics constantly evolve, so does her sound. SONiA plans to perform bits off of her upcoming CD, which will include songs in Spanish, Hebrew and Arabic when she appears at Red Line Tap this month. Though she'll be touring with drums and guitars — SONiA plays guitar while Disappear Fear (a.k.a. Laura Cerulli) takes care of percussion — she hints that she may include a local guest vocalist or bassist. Her empowering music provides the perfect way to launch into the new year. It'll get under your skin, moving your body and your soul. (Appearing at Red Line Tap on Jan. 6) --text: Jen Fischer--photo: Todd Franson
