Sofar Philly presents Philly’s own, Noni René, for an Album Listening
Event on Saturday, November 28th from 1-3 p.m.
Thesis + Antithesis = Synthesis. AfroPunk alum. Guitar in hand,
truth on her tongue. Fresh off her new project NEAUX — a journey of
self-definition, soft power, and cutting what no longer serves.
She doesn’t just sing. She reclaims the room.
This is future-soul, grunge-soul, Black femme.
Come early. Stay present. You’ll be talking about this one.
Get tickets here.

Join us at Jamey’s on Thursday, October 29, for a screening of the documentary, “RECOLLECTIONS: Val Shively and 50 Years of Collecting Records in Philadelphia.”
Directed by Christopher Plant and executive produced by Chris Fralic, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame film tells the story of passionate music collector Val Shively who has been buying and selling records for more than 50 years.
Val Shively and Christopher Plant will be in attendance for a Q & A following the film.
Val Shively’s musical love is group harmony, commonly known as “doo wop” – but his life’s work collecting and selling records has real life connections through artists like QuestLove and a comprehensive coffee table book about vinyl collecting by Eilon Paz called Dust and Grooves.
Learn more about, and meet Val, legendary owner of R & B Records in Upper Darby, at this special event!

About Annika Bennett
Originally from New York and now based in Los Angeles, Annika Bennett is a singer, songwriter, and producer whose work is a masterclass in modern storytelling. Blending elements of pop, folk, country, and indie, everything she creates is something uniquely her own.
Annika first established herself as a formidable force in the writers’ room, penning standout tracks for artists such as Chappell Roan (“Super Graphic Ultra Modern Girl”), Lauv (“Love U Like That”), Role Model (“Sally, When the Wine Runs Out”, “Look At That Woman”), ILLIT (“Lucky Girl Syndrome”), and LE SSERAFIM & j-hope (“SPAGHETTI”).

Most recently, she released her self-written and self-produced EP, Triple Shooting Star (November 2025). The eight-track project captures the evolution of her sound, a raw, expansive, and deeply personal journey that marks her most ambitious work to date.
A seasoned performer, Annika has toured internationally supporting Sabrina Carpenter, Role Model, Medium Build, Leith Ross, and is currently supporting Madison Cunningham. As she continues to build toward future releases, Annika Bennett cements her place as a singular and emotionally resonant voice in today’s musical landscape.
