SOULidified is the brainchild of leader and arranger Rick Blechta. While his playing experience covers virtually every music genre and kind of ensemble, the soul songs he played as a teenage hold a special place in his heart. He figures it’s now time to share it with a wider — and younger — audience. Otis Redding, James Brown, Wilson Pickett, Sam & Dave and many others were all giants of this special music. It’s the goal of SOULidified to play this music with the passion these artists brought to their stage performances, and with the authenticity that is so often lacking when these classic tunes are occasionally performed today.
“Anybody who can hear this music and not at least tap their foot – let alone be overwhelmed by the urge to get up and dance – is either not listening or dead. You can’t help but be captured by the potency of it. Fifty years after it was created, the original examples of Soul Music haven’t lost one drop of their power. Whether you’ve heard these songs or not, we guarantee they will not leave you unaffected.”
