The Soul Of John Black Brings Contemporary Grooves To LA's Cafe Boogaloo (Feb 14th) And The Mint (Feb 17th) For Album Release Shows

New York, NY. (Top40 Charts/ Shore Fire Media) - The Soul of John Black has confirmed two California dates in celebration of 'Black John,' out February 17th on Eclecto Groove. Lead man John Bigham delves deep into his diverse musical background on the new record, from the funky soul tribute "Betty Jean" to the party jam "I Knew A Lady." Already receiving a warm welcome from critics, Paste Magazine Online writes:

"[Bigham] seamlessly merges influences and eras, and the results can be heard on his fine new album... The groove is, indeed, the thing. It's relentless... what matters is the soul and funk, and Bigham brings it on every track. He's a fine singer, too, throwing in Godfather of Soul grunts and gospel melismas and pleading, sexually-charged asides that are worthy of Al Green."
