Fall is here and Soul Music is EVERYWHERE!
Ok so I missed the Soul Summit in Atlanta a couple weeks ago but heard it was really inspiring for all the artists. Everyone seemed to bond and friends got re-acquainted, new friends and new relationships built- that’s what this is about….
More upcoming events to build, politic, create bonds and meet new people and last but not least- discover great talent…
Next Friday is Soultracks Readers’ Choice Awards held in Detroit at Max Fischer Music Center. Friday, October 3rd. 3 of my artists have been nominated for ‘Best New Artist’ - April Hill, Melissa Young and Heston. There will be all kinds of performances and an after party and on Saturday there will be an All-Star Jam held at The Museum of African American History- 8PM- Unfortunately I won’t be there for that but seeing my lovely niece and nephew and brother and his wife instead. Hanging with the kids….Another on the way.. My sister in-law is pregnant again!
After Detroit it’s off to D.C for Can A Sista Roc A Mic–Oct 8-11th. This is going to be a fabulous affair with several performances and closing with an intense documentary and discussion. No! The Rape documentary. A grand finale of exceptional artists will be performing too. April Hill is on the Wednesday, October 8th w/ N’Dambi at Bohemian Caverns.
Urban Organic Anniversary back in Detroit produced by Drake Phifer. He’s going to hip me to that line up soon. Otherwise I give him hell when I see him next week in Detroit…
So with that said- the scene - the movement- the genre- call it what you will– it’s looking very healthy and will continue to grow– this is just the beginning…
So Soul Lovers— Teedra Moses tonight at SOB’s– Raphael Saadiq tomorrow night at SOB’s and Abby Dobson on Monday at Tillman’s for her birthday performance.
