Soultown to Motown

December 15, 2023 @ 7:30 pm

  • « CNC Plasma Cutting Metal
  • Saturday Market Day »

The Sensational Soul Cruisers perform Soultown to Motown. This show focuses on iconic Classic Soul & Motown music from the period of time generally between the birth of Motown in 1960 to the release of Michael Jackson’s all-time selling Thriller album in 1983.

Joined by 11 performers including a horn section, keyboardist, 4 vocalists and an incredible Rock & Soul rhythm section, the show Soultown to Motown recreates a note for note and absolutely live choreographed duplication of these classic tunes, from the early pioneers of Motown, Stax Records, Carolina Beach Music and The Sound of Philadelphia. Sprinkled throughout the show you will hear the sounds of artists like: Four Tops, Temptations, Jackson 5, Smokey Robinson, Sly and the Family Stone, The Spinners, Earth Wind & Fire, Edwin Starr, Sam & Dave, Carl Carton, Otis Redding, The Delfonics, Marvin Gaye, Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes, The Manhattans, Barry White, The Commodores, The Stylistics with many more soulful gems and surprises! The show touches on the crème de la crème of this vast catalogue from the Doo-Wop sounds of the Flamingos “I only have eyes for you” to very danceable “Ladies Night” by Kook and the Gang. With its multimedia video backdrop, Soultown to Motown transcends generations making it one to be loved by all.
