Sometimes the cast of ingredients change, but the current recipe is: Monica McIntyre (cello/vox), Marcia McIntyre (violin/vox), Raheli (supporting vox), Will Brock (keys), Lucien Dowdell (bass) and Calvin Weston (drums).
Monica McIntyre is an engaging and passionate performer who brings every aspect of her spirit to shows. Wowing audiences with her deep, frame-defying voice and unorthodox cello technique, which often involves the use of: slapping, plucking and strumming. She effortlessly blends the genres of jazz, blues, soul, reggae and middle-eastern music, creating her own musical landscape.
Meticulous storytelling, metaphor and word play, dominate her lyrics causing her songs to be read and heard as succinct novellas. The smoky texture and emotional quality of her voice, as it delivers these lyrics, have left audiences crying, dancing, laughing and testifying. Whether performing solo or with a full-band, Monica McIntyre is sure to introduce you to a unique, musical experience.

Monica, we were blown away by your cello playing with Drake at Tritone the other night. Great stuff. Hopefully we will share the stage again before too long.
Thanks for being a friend to New Social Voyeurs! You are awesome and good things will happen to you, I just know it! Peace and love many times over. Let’s get the good karma really going by you now being a friend to someone in need! There is a suicide epidemic going on! Just say something nice to help someone feel less alone. Help them to get help. And pass this forward to three more people, just do your little bit of good stuff today. The good vibes you send will reverberate in the cosmos and come right back to you, multiplied in massive amounts of sweetness and kindness (and maybe some good luck as well)!
This is the brand spanking new video for “Go”, the new suicide prevention song from New Social Voyeurs.
