About this Event

In hopes to connect the listener to the artist, Sonic invites you to experience an exclusive listen to her new single Wasting Time set to release on October 30th. Join us for an intimate Pre-Release/Listening Party to get a deeper dive into this work of art. The night will be celebratory, vulnerable and immersive as Sonic will personally take you through the process step by step of the record and how it was birthed from breaking down lyrics, melody, artistic approach and the inspiration behind the song. The listener often experiences just the result of the art that the artist works so hard to curate, what does it look like if we as artists invite you into the process? This first listen will allow us to explore just that, bridging the gap between artist and listener, we want to give you more. With that said we will host a Q&A sometime in the evening, artist to listener, Sonic will be listening to you. Nothing is off limits, start thinking of something you've always wanted to explore when you first hear a record you love and if you could ask the artist anything, what first comes to mind? Sonic hopes to create a safe space to be received where she can share her truth, her healing and her process when putting her real life experiences into the music


You may even get an exclusive LIVE acoustic rendition of the record from Sonic that night, guess you'll have to come and see!


Complimentary charcuterie cups will be provided to each attendee upon arrival


A limited Edition "Wasting Time" themed goodie bag will go to the first 30 guests to arrive so get there early!


QR codes will be displayed around the venue for folks to pre-save and add the single to their library in real time in prep for the soon to follow release!
