The Soul Band specializes in booty-shakin’, love-making, dance-floor-packing southern soul music. Drawing from an arsenal of classics and B-side gems, this 7-piece ensemble has been wowing audiences all over New England. In Memphis in the ’60s and ‘70s, record labels Stax, Hi, American and Goldwax were cranking out the hits, each with its unique sound and approach. The Soul Band’s tribute to this golden age of soul will make your next event the highlight of the year. Check out the new CD at www.thesoulband.net
