STREETCORNER RENAISSANCE (Award-winning Vocal Group)

Streetcorner Renaissance is a soulful, award-winning a cappella group based in Los Angeles that has earned a reputation as one of the premier purveyors of authentic “Golden Age” doo-wop and classic R&B. Founded by Maurice Kitchen—who famously left a successful 25-year career in the insurance industry to pursue his musical dreams—the group gained national prominence as fan favorites on Season 4 of NBC’s The Sing-Off, where their smooth harmonies and nostalgic charm captivated judges and audiences alike. The quintet, which has included members like Torre Brannon Reese, Anthony Snead, Charles “Sonny” Banks, and Bob Henley, is celebrated for their ability to transcend generations, having shared the stage with legends such as Chuck Berry, Kool & the Gang, and The Temptations, and even opening for modern icons like Boyz II Men. Known for their infectious energy and sophisticated vocal arrangements, they continue to be a staple of the live music scene, with an upcoming headlining performance scheduled at the Catalina Jazz Club in Hollywood on Wednesday, January 7, 2026, offering a masterclass in the timeless art of street-corner harmony.
