Experience the incredible sound of Otis Redding’s music as two of the UK’s most exciting raw soul acts join forces to celebrate the King of Soul.
Originally commissioned by Soul Cookers Records for Saint Paul Soul Jazz Festival 2008, this uplifting show pairs charismatic Burundian singer songwriter Mudibu with Hammond and horns from The Jezebel Sextet.
You’ll hear 20 Otis Redding classics – including hits such as Respect, My Girl, Mr Pitiful, Hard To Handle, Love Man, and Try A Little Tenderness – performed by an 8 piece band with an incredible raw sound that’s guaranteed to get you on the good foot!
Recent performances include The Jazz Cafe, The Boisdale Club, 100 Club, The Hideaway Club, and Hootananny in London; Band On the Wall in Manchester; The Stables in Milton Keynes; The Sage in Gateshead; and Voodoo Rooms in Edinburgh. Festival bookings include Saint Paul Soul Jazz Festival; Roubaix Vintage Weekender; Tighten Up Festival in Marseille; Grand Casino Soulstice Party in Nice; and Twinwood Festival.
