Press Reviews Funky, soulful, danceable, melodic, rhythmic original music. Sort of like the Brand New Heavies meet Rickie Lee Jones with 70s family groove flavor. In reality, bn9 is hard to describe and impossible to categorize. Female leadsinger has so much energy, be sure you go see bn9 after a good night's rest. Two female back-up singers along with backups from the men in the group make for lucious vocal harmonies. ** Check out the band's tourdates and definitely visit their website (made by the lead singer herself) where you'll find tons of photos and more RealAudio clips. The band is based out of Jersey City, NJ, and NYC.
