SONIC SEASON, founded in January 2001, can look back on 17 successful years: Shortly after its foundation, the band made it to the finals of a European newcomer competition called "Emergenza", arousing the interest of various booking agents and local media.

The albums "INDIAN SUMMER" (2002), "IDAHO" (2003), "MOTHER EARTH" (2006) and "CHANGES AND STEADINESS" (2012) led to the breakthrough of Sonic Season in Luxembourg by charting in the Top Ten. These albums combine different styles from Ballads, Latin and Pop to Rock music. Furthermore, the band was asked to play at the big local festivals. 

​

In 2014, Sonja Hewer started writing and arranging songs for the new album "Circle Of Life" together with the producer, sound engineer and allround musician Miko Vogelgesang ("Klang-Alchemist"). So about half of the songs were composed by Miko Vogelgesang and all arrangements are influenced by his Country-Rock style. The new album shows a wide range of musical genres: From Country over Rock, Bluegrass and Swing to American Folk music, many influences are represented on this new CD. Thus, the music is a pure playground for the musicians of Sonic Season, who often dare unusual crossovers.

​

The current line-up consists of Sonja Hewer (songwriting, vocals, guitar), Miko Vogelgesang (music composition, arrangements, electric guitar, acoustic guitar), Michael Dörr (bass), Steve Bellmann (drums) and Patrick Barth (keyboards). The band knows how to capture their audience with this variety of handmade music, combined with a charismatic stage presence. Remarkable about SONIC SEASON are the expressive vocals, the melodic guitars, the arrangements that quickly catch your ears and an unbridled joy of performing live on stage.
