Soul of the City: Meet Singer-Songwriter Sabriel Hobart

Downtown Las Vegas should flatter itself to believe that if it had a voice of its own, it would sound like Sabriel Hobart. The young singer-songwriter — who performs under her first name, pronounced Shaw-bree-el — sings with a true and genuine soulfulness that’s too rarely heard in Vegas, or anywhere else for that matter. (Hear it for yourself and you’ll likely agree.) It’s not at all difficult to imagine her voice issuing from car stereos and her star-quality features illuminated on giant billboards. But for now, you can catch her act at Eat and several other Downtown venues, where it never fails to amaze.
