Sons of the Soul Revivers

  • The Sound Room 3022 Broadway Oakland, CA, 94611 United States (map)

What better way to start the new year than with a message of hope. This show is guaranteed to get you feeling uplifted! Gospel music has a fundamental heart magic, a soulful joy in the positive things in life that summons a response from believers and nonbelievers alike. That joy is embodied in the music of the Sons of the Soul Revivers (Walter Jr., James, and Dwayne Morgan).

The Sons began in 1970, as children playing together in the Church. Songs We’ll Always Sing offers rocket-propelled rhythms, the kind of close harmony singing that only brothers who’ve practiced for decades can achieve, and the joyful bounce that Duke Ellington called Swing. The rhythm section of Ronnie Smith on drums and Daquantae Johnson is totally in the pocket, and Walter Jr.’s guitar is a delight, fully honoring his favorite early role model, Tito Jackson.

Music heals. Listen with an open heart and it will indeed soothe your mind and soul.
