WHY RHYTHM & SOUL ? The Rhythm & Soul Music Festival is a traveling music experience. It takes place quarterly around the country\, and features some of R&B a nd soul music's hottest known and unknown bands\, singers\, poets and DJs. "Rhythm & Soul" is a contemporary blend of R&B (think: Mary J Bli ge\, Ne-Yo\, Beyonce and Usher) mixed with soul (think: Jill Scott\, D 'Angelo\, Erykah Badu and Kem). We experience these great sounds of to day with winks at the foundation of previous years...from the 70's to the mid-90's. There will even be hints of jazz\, blues\, funk and hip- hop sprinkled in throughout each artist set! Music has gone through ch anges and much of today's radio hits and stars are crafted from within the minds of people who do not put the music first-only the revenue p otentially made matters. Our mission is to preserve the integrity of b lack music's finest...and give opportunities to other artists who aren 't seen or heard but are just as talented as the manufactured stars.
