BEST NEO-SOUL/ R&B MUSIC SHOWCASE
IN NEW YORK
There is something magical about hearing live musicians, Singers and
Songwriters coming together under one roof with no pre-conceived
format in a nurturing atmosphere, and that's what Sol Village at
S.O.B.'s brings to you every third Wednesday of each month. There is
amazing selection of urban inspired art and art objects; beautiful
black female portraits on natural wood, sexy, hand-made leather
jewelry and a whole host of other trinkets and treasures. There are
also new media artists and painters, with the click of a mouse or
strokes of a brush, who create their masterpieces right before your
eyes. Solvillage The Neo soul & RnB/ Singer Songwriter music showcase
at S.O.B.'s have created an urban marketplace, where community, art
and music come together. Just to give you an example of the energy
that takes place at SOLVILLAGE, last year sometimes, we had Floetry
whom happened to be in town stopped by and jumped on stage and
performed 6 songs, backed up by the super tight musicians "The
Collective" !!!!!! on different nights in the past, we have had
Musiq, Bilal, John Legend, Wylde Bunch etc…just to name a few…hosted
by Eric Roberson, one of the most sought after soul
singer/songwriter/producer in the business…
Music by "The Collective" a 4 piece band of super talented young
musicians with great musical history, they have backed up many well
known and upcoming artists within the RnB/Neo-Soul/ such as Floetry,
Jill Scott amongst others, having said the above, it's no coincidence
that SOLVILLAGE IS THE PLACE TO BE ON THE THIRD WEDENESDAY OF EACH
MONTH!!!!
Again, to be considered for Solvillage, just send in your demo to the
same address above to my attention (Jube Altino at Pjube@... )
or (Larry Gold at Lgold@... ) and you may be eligible to perform
on the next SOLVILLAGE!!!!

From ConFUNKShun Felton Pilate
Originally, Pilate exploded into the national spotlight with
ConFunkShun with a formidable run of ten huge records
including one Platinum and four consecutive Gold albums.
Their 20 hit singles included 8 Top Ten R&B Hits and one
#1 R&B smash. Alongside blistering dance workouts like
"Chase Me", "Ms. Got-The-Body", and "Ffun" are their quiet
storm slow jams for which Pilate is noted. Classic faves
such as, "Straight From The Heart", "(Let Me Put) Love On
Your Mind", "All Up To You", and "Baby I'm Hooked (Right
Into Your Love)" whet the appetite for this new LP. These
Pilate vocal hits remain on radio play lists while
ConFunkShun continues to churn out concert dates year
after year. Pilate and ConFunkShun really sparkle on TV
events like "Sinbad's HBO Soul Music Special," "Motown
Live" and "Vibe." Recent LP releases include "The Best Of
Con Funk Shun Vol. 1 & 2", "Live For Ya A**" - the live LP,
"The Ballads Collection", and the re-release of the Gold LP,
"Secrets" on CD, and "Greatest Hits" among others.
