The Delfonics Experience, led by the incomparable Norman Carter, brings the timeless sound of The Delfonics to a new generation. With smooth harmonies and classic hits, we transport audiences back to the golden age of soul while infusing our performances with contemporary energy.

Norman Carter’s journey with The Delfonics began in the 1970s when he first met the original members. Handpicked by William Hart, the group’s founder, Norman has been carrying the torch of The Delfonics’ legacy for over 28 years.
