DESCRIPTION

A Decade of Soul formed in 2008 and was soon after dubbed “Broadway’s Original Live Motown & ‘70s Soul Show” with a very successful ten plus-year run with over 1600 performances in Times Square New York City at BB Kings Club & Grill on 42nd Street.  

The show pays tribute to not just Motown artists, but to all classic soul acts right through the 1970s. – Aretha Franklin, Marvin Gaye, Otis Redding, Sam & Dave, Gladys Knight, James Brown, Jackson 5, The Supremes, Al Green, Ike & Tina Turner, Jackie Wilson, Barry White, Donna Summer, and many more are all in the show.   

It’s a high energy show with tremendous audience interaction, making it very hard to stay in your seat. When attending A Decade of Soul, you will see people getting up and dancing in the aisles, singing along to each and every legendary platinum hit song, and even see some people shed a tear from the memories it brings back.

The band has performed in concert halls, theaters, hotels, resorts, and casinos. They have graced nostalgic stages like the famous Paramount Theater, the legendary Howard Theater in Washington, DC. and the world-famous Blue Note Jazz Club.
