Greg Adams
& East Bay Soul
FUNK, JAZZ, SOUL ENSEMBLE
Los Angeles, CA
With powerful horns, sweet soul vocals and an all-star rhythm section, Greg Adams and East Bay Soul delivers a sensational blend of Funk, Jazz, Soul and R&B creating a recipe of musical magic and wizardry with every note they play. The driving force behind this expansive ensemble is Grammy and Emmy nominated trumpeter and arranger Greg Adams. His distinctive horn arrangements as a founding member of Tower of Power made the horn section a sought out entity all on its own. Greg’s legendary percussive horn arrangements have offered an iconic sound for over four decades lending his sound to Santana, Elton John, Rod Stewart, Huey Lewis and The News and The Rolling Stones to name a few! The combined musical genius and professionalism of East Bay Soul make them ideal for international and statewide festivals of all sizes, and more intimate settings such as jazz clubs and wineries.
“Truly one of the best musical performances I have ever seen. I can’t say enough. I felt the presence of War, Marvin Gaye and Al Green on the old classic vocal performances and sounds of Peabo Bryson and some TOP too. Definitely 10 of the best musicians I have heard. Having been a fan of R&B, Soul and Funk for the last 40 years, it was a great experience to see what you guys can deliver. I could have listened to you for another two hours!”
East Bay Soul creates a union that has been nothing short of musical wizardry. Their extraordinary combined talents all bring incredible energy to the music with heart and soul. East Bay Soul is dedicated to a singular vision of bringing their brand of funk and the magic of their live performance into every note they play.
The combined musical pedigree of East Bay Soul reads like a who’s who’s in pop culture. Pick up a record, album or CD from any genre of music; R&B, soul, rock or contemporary jazz, one or several of the East Bay Soul members is most likely on it!
“When you’ve been a forever fan of Tower of Power, Greg as a soloist and now East Bay Soul – this is a concert I can’t wait for”
With the benefit of vision, musical “know how” and the insight that comes through genuine affection, respect and friendship and you have a recipe for making memories and some primetime music history.
