IU Soul Revue at Buskirk-Chumley Theater

Intense grooves, strong rhythms, cohesive instrumentation - the IU Soul Revue exhibits the timeless sounds of R&B, soul, funk, and contemporary urban black popular music. Performances feature original compositions along with arrangements of works recorded by the likes of Stevie Wonder, Earth, Wind & Fire, Patti Labelle, Kelly Price, D’Angelo, Mary J. Blige, Eric Benet and more. Since 1971, the Revue has enjoyed its reputation as one of the finest collegiate popular music ensembles in America. The electric performances of the IU Soul Revue are delivered by its commanding male and female vocal ensemble, powerful horn line and outstanding rhythm section.

Several Soul Revue alumni have gone on to professional careers in the music industry. Crystal Taliefero, former backup singer for both Bruce Springsteen and John Mellencamp, now with Billy Joel; Keith Mitchell and Kevon Edmonds of After Seven; recording artist Georgia Jones; and James Strong bassist and band leader for L.L Cool J are just a few.
