Sharon Jones & Charles Bradley Headline Daptone Records ' Super Soul Revue Live At The Apollo Theater From December 4th - 6th.
Sharon Jones and Charles Bradley are slated to headline Daptone Records' upcoming Super Soul Revue at the world famous Apollo Theater in Harlem from December 4th through the 6th. The series billed as an "epic three-night experience" is the backdrop for first ever live album from Daptone Records, which will be recorded at each show by the label's house engineers. The show touches down in New York City after successfully rocking stages in Europe, Australia and on the festival circuit at SXSW. The Super Soul Revue includes performances from Bradley, Jones & The Dap-Kings, Antibalas, Naomi Shelton & The Gospel Queens, The Sugarman Three, The Budos Band, Menahan Street Band, The Extraordinaires, The Como Mamas and Saun & Starr. The series also marks the first time some of Daptone's acts will be taking the stage at the Apollo. The label serves up news of the revue with a description of their scorching stage show:
For the uninitiated, The Daptone Super Soul Revue is no ordinary label showcase. Though the soulful showmanship and raw talent of each artist in Daptone's legendary stable is well-known, the combination of these acts in to one unified, cooperative performance is a sum greater than the whole -- a collaboration manifesting on stage mirroring the communal studio vibe, common musical philosophy, and deep family culture that is unique to this Brooklyn crew. In the tradition of the great revues of days gone by -- those of Stax, Motown, James Brown, and Ike & Tina -- the show is one seamless act. Presided over by the consummate wordsmith, Master of Ceremonies Binky Griptite, the show moves from one line-up to the next without breaks, employing well coordinated musical transitions that could only be conceived and executed by musicians that have honed their craft shoulder to shoulder both on stage and in the studio for over a decade.
Pre-sale tickets for the Super Soul Revue are available today via Ticketmaster. General admission tickets will be available on Thursday, September 18th at 10:00 AM.
