Robert Randolph and EOTO Lundi Gras Jam

MOBILE, AL - HUKA Entertainment and Soul Kitchen presents Robert Randolph and the Family Band live at Soul Kitchen, Monday, February 19, 2007. Doors open at 9 p.m. Tickets are $20 in advance and $25 at the door. Tickets can be purchased at Soul Kitchen, Mellow Mushroom or online at frontgatetickets.com.

Robert Randolph and the Family Band is a multicultural American funk and soul band. The group’s sound is inspired by successful 1970’s funk bands such as Earth, Wind and Fire and Sly and the Family Stone. With their latest record, Colorblind, Randolph and the Family Band have taken the difficult leap from being great performing artists to being great recording artists. Since emerging from a House of God church in Orange, New Jersey steeped in the “Sacred Steel” tradition, Randolph’s astonishing pedal steel playing has had a revolutionary impact. Like a mere handful of musicians such as Louis Armstrong, Jimi Hendrix, and Stevie Wonder, Randolph has actually been able to redefine the sonic possibilities of his instrument.

Following Robert Randolph and the Family Band will be EOTO. EOTO will be performing a late night show. EOTO consists of Jason Hann and Michael Travis who are the percussionist and drummer of the band The String Cheese Incident. Hann and Travis are collaborating to produce a “brand new 100% improvised live looping project.” Influenced by some of the world’s greatest DJ’s and computer artists, Hann and Travis use cutting edge loop technology to create truly original and melodic dance music in the moment, with the undeniable power of live drums. Since the project is 100% improvised, every night promises to be a truly unique dance experience. This is the second time the duo has performed in Mobile. You will not want to miss out on this show!
