Old-school backbeat hip-hop groove and lush harmony frame butter-smooth soul singing as hot horns sizzle bright and lullaby low, and everybody boogies down to the sounds of a visceral hip-pop that goes on and on long after the show is over…. Riding on the success of a recent tour of the Northeast and Canada, Strength in Numbers has enjoyed raucous receptions in packed houses from New York to Moncton to Burlington to Montreal. They have opened for such heavyweights as Immortal Technique, The Wailers, and Akil of Jurrasic 5, among others. The success of their debut EP, "Less is More," and a busy summer festival schedule have established Strength in Numbers not just as a fixture of the local scene, but as a creative powerhouse with the impetus--and the means--to add their voice to the modern musical movement.
