Soul Kitchen to Reunite at The Black Box, 9/11
THE BLACK BOX, downtown Franklin's new theater, music, and event venue, kicks off its 2015-2016 season with the highly anticipated reunion concert of Boston's popular R&B band, Soul Kitchen. The show, and venue's first dance party, begins at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, September 11. THE BLACK BOX, the home of the Franklin Performing Arts Company (FPAC), is located at 15 West Central Street.
Drawing musical inspiration from the legendary Rhythm & Blues artists of the '50s, '60s and '70s, Soul Kitchen lays down a groove with a four-horn section, full rhythm section and male and female vocalists. The instrumentation provides authenticity of sound and enables the band to perform works popularized by male and female artists of the genre, from Aretha Franklin and Etta James to Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles. The band is led by arranger/trumpeter Rick Hammett, recording artist for Warner Brothers, Concord Jazz Records, RCA and Electra and 1st trumpet for Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, the Boston Pops and others. Showcasing some of Boston's finest musical talent, Soul Kitchen features vocalist/keyboardist Joe Bargar (who has toured with Otis Rush and recorded with Diana Ross) and the vocal sounds of former Atlantic recording artist April Hall.
Tickets are $20 for adults and $15 for students and seniors. For ticket purchase or additional information, call (508) 528-3370 or visit www.THEBLACKBOXonline.com.
