About Preachermann:
What sets Preachermann apart from his peers is that his sultry brand of neo-soul is not only fresh, it is fearless; not merely sensuous, but conscious. And unlike so many modern soul artists whose work is weighed down with clichés, he has an uncanny knack for clever wordplay that bridges the serious side of life with the levity that makes it livable. The title track to his 2006 LP,
Negroes Stay Crunchy in Milk, is but one shining example of Preacher’s capacity to skillfully and seamlessly blend prophetic lore with ironic metaphor to make timeless music that crosses broad boundaries without selling itself out.
The Preachermann and The Revival Band is a ten member New York based band that blends rock, gospel and funk to create an original and engaging sound that Preachermann has dubbed ATOMIC SOUL.
About Holy Forest:
Holy Forest is the brainchild of musician and filmmaker
Jon Fine.
Wearing a number of hats on this record as producer, instrumentalist
and songwriter, he enlisted friends and collaborators on this epic
genre-blending project. The seeds of the recording sessions, spanning 3
years, were planted on a trip to the Makasutu Forest, a lush, green
wilderness of mangrove swamps that line the River Gambia. While there,
Fine connected with legendary griot
Tata Din Din Jobarteh and the project was born.
With an intimate knowledge of music across genres and styles, Fine
reached out to a number of critically acclaimed musicians including
members of
Antibalas, singer-songwriter
Morley, Grammy nominated kora master,
Youssoupha Sidibe and rising Gambian star
ST. Digging even deeper, he brought in BK afro punks
No Surrender, Bay area singer
Sparlha Swa, and the criminally underrated Harlem soul man,
Ed “Preachermann” Holley
to craft a collection of songs about love and distance. Recorded in The
Gambia, NYC, Woodstock and San Francisco, Holy Forest is 21st century
cross-continental roots music.
You have to see it to believe it! Shalimar!!
Come ready to dance, sing and celebrate Preachermann's birthday for a night to remember!
