Drawing from the history of music made to get folks out of their seats and onto the dance floor, SoundEVR uses the sounds of Funk, Gospel, RnB, House and Pop music to make you move your body.

WHO WE ARE
Our HISTORY
The Marian Anderson Music Guild, Inc. (MAMG) is the South Jersey Branch of the National Association of Negro Musicians, Inc. (NANM), a historic organization since 1919. NANM fosters the promotion of the music and the development of knowledge and appreciation of music composed and performed by all persons, but especially those of African descent.
The Marian Anderson Music Guild was organized in May 1970. It was an inspiration of Reverend Jesse Ferman Little who, with the assistance of Mr. Calvin Delp, formed the South Jersey branch of the national music organization. Ms. Isabella Collins, Mrs. Henrietta Robinson and Ms. Constance Berkshiener (2nd Vice President of NANM) were other founding members.
On June 15, 1982, the organization received permission from Marian Anderson to use her name in support of its mission. At that time the South Jersey branch was renamed the “Marian Anderson Music Guild”. MAMG presents concerts, workshops and other events to promote African American composers and musicians, preserve the African American Spiritual and raise scholarships for aspiring young musicians.
