The Soul Project NOLA
With soulful grooves and impeccable musicianship, The Soul Project brings the vibrant spirit of New Orleans everywhere they go. Crowds can't help but let loose to their energetic and original mix of Funk, Jazz, Soul, Blues, and Gospel.
Finding inspiration in the music of Walter “Wolfman” Washington, the Meters, the Neville Brothers, Galactic and Dr. John, the band's members — Jon Cristian Duque (guitar/vocals), Jeremy Habegger (organ/keys/vocals), David Ludman (saxophones), Aaron Walker (drums) and Wanda Joseph (bass) — are right at home being rooted in the rich tradition of New Orleans Funk and R&B, while their distinctive sound leans forward combining the best of the old schools with the new.
Jordan Morack Quintet
The Jordan Morack Quintet is a dynamic music group that plays everything from straight ahead Jazz to Bossa Nova to classic Motown music. The ensemble features some of the most in demand young musicians that Middle Tennessee has to offer including tenor saxophonist and flautist, Jordan Morack, and the talented vocalist and Burlap Room favorite, Kaleah Wooten. Join us for a program comprised of original compositions and classic tunes written by the masters of the last century such as Miles Davis, Stevie Wonder, Herbie Hancock, Duke Ellington, and Aretha Franklin.
