<p>Sponsored by New York-based <a href="http://www.matrixsv.com/">Matrix Sound & Vision</a>, the event featuring Sotti will be held from 9-10 p.m. ET at the New York Palace Hotel in Hubbard II Room.</p>
<p>Sotti, who has collaborated with an impressive range of artists from all genres, including Cassandra Wilson, Q-Tip, the late Whitney Houston and many others, will treat attendees with a special free performance to celebrate the upcoming release of <em>Right Now,</em> Sotti’s latest album which was mixed and mastered using KEF’s <a href="http://kef.com/html/us/showroom/flagship_hi-fi_series/LS50/overview/index.html">LS50 Mini Monitor Loudspeakers</a>.</p>
<p>During the evening presented by KEF and Matrix Sound & Vision, Sotti will bring together musicians from around the world to treat attendees to a sampling of new tracks from <em>Right Now</em> and other works. Shareese Ballard, better known as <a href="http://the1res.com/">Res</a>, will accompany Sotti with her beautiful combination of soul, rock and Indie pop vocals. Also performing alongside Sotti will be accomplished bassist <a href="http://tonygrey.com/">Tony Grey</a> and internationally renowned drummer <a href="http://www.franciscomela.com/live/">Francisco Mela</a>.</p>
<p>The LS50s helped Sotti and an exciting and unexpected ensemble of guest on <em>Right Now</em> deliver a truly unique mix of original songs and covers of timeless classic songs, like an interpretation of “The Wall” featuring Ice-T, M-1 of Dead Prez and Res.</p>
