NEW YORK (Maceo Parker PR) -
Maceo Parker is an architect of funk music, the saxophone of choice for
James Brown,
George Clinton, and even Prince! It is almost impossible to separate which came first,
Maceo or the funk. The amazing P-funk Parker has been at it with his legendary alto horn for some time dating back to the 1960's. That's when
Maceo and
James Brown first linked up, laying the foundation for modern funk, which eventually turned into the building blocks for today's funk and soul sample-based hip-hop beats that have dominated the airwaves for the past ten years. It wasn't long before Brown coined what would become the go-to phrase for sending off a solo, 'Maceo, I want you to Blow!"
Come see
Maceo blow his horn next Wednesday, June 14th, at Irving Plaza for the first time in two years!! Unlike overused vocal chords and tired dancing feet,a great sound on saxophone and a lifetime of practice don't fade away with old age...And hey, Parker's a good ten years younger than Brown himself, and he definitely still knows how to move a crowd!!
Kindred rocking the S.O.B.'s stage
WEDNESDAY JUNE 14 S.O.B.s SoulCity Presents: Kindred The Family Soul
Doors: 6:30PM Show: 7:30PM Admission: $22 Advance, $25 Day Of
We're very pleased to have Kindred the Family Soul joining us on the 14th of June for a very special show. This duo has been making waves since being introduced to Hidden Beach Records by Jill Scott less than five years ago. Now, with two albums under their belt, this married couple brings their stellar live performance to S.O.B.'s for an evening that will move from funky, to soulful, to pure R&B, but most critics and fans simply call it good, honest music. This married couple creates music that could emanate only from two souls in spiritual touch, as they explore each other's dark and glorious passages and unfold the oft-forgotten sensuality in undying love. Kindred create lush, lolling landscapes crafted with bits of funk, hip-hop, jazz of all shades, and a whole lot of soul. If you're a fan of R&B and soul music and you haven't seen Kindred yet, you're missing out. Their S.O.B.'s shows are always packed with good people, great vibes, (just look at those pictures from last time) and even better music, so hop on the 1 train to Houston St. and become a part of the live event that is Kindred the Family Soul, Wednesday, June 14th, 2006.
