Sweet Soul Music Revue - ZMF Freiburg
For almost 20 years, pure soul: the SWEET SOUL MUSIC REVUE. In 2009, an enthusiastic audience celebrated the birth of a show dedicated to soul music at the sold-out Capitol in Mannheim: the SWEET SOUL MUSIC REVUE. The creators of the revue have over 50 years of experience in soul music and have created a show that has been touring the stages of Europe for almost 20 years now. From the very beginning, it pays tribute to the giants of soul music such as Otis Redding, James Brown, The Temptations, The Supremes, Wilson Pickett, Sam & Dave, Gladys Knight, Sam Cooke, The Four Tops, Aretha Franklin, Tina Turner, Etta James, and the inventor of soul, Ray Charles, making the hearts of fans of black music soar. The past years of the SWEET SOUL MUSIC REVUE are a success story: since its premiere, the show has regularly toured throughout Germany and abroad. Sold-out concerts and enthusiastic press reviews show that the revue perfectly captures the spirit of the times and the tastes of the audience. Overall, the SWEET SOUL MUSIC REVUE has been experienced live more than 500 times in recent years. And the Soul Train continues to roll on, stopping at numerous stages domestically and abroad in 2026 as well. A tribute show honoring the soul labels Motown, Stax, and Atlantic will be presented—an explosive two-hour mix of feeling, rhythm, passion, and joy of life—pure soul! The SWEET SOUL MUSIC REVUE takes the audience on an authentic musical journey “Down Funky Street, USA” of the 60s and 70s. In addition to soul classics like “Respect,” “Soul Man,” “It’s a Man’s World,” “Papa was a Rolling Stone,” “Midnight Train to Georgia,” or “Sitting on the Dock of the Bay,” many more gems of Sixties and Seventies soul will be presented. The SWEET SOUL MUSIC REVUE makes soul music experienceable in original soul instrumentation. The REVUE band—comprising 10 high-caliber musicians—provides the perfect old-school sound with a four-part brass section, a grooving rhythm section, and a Hammond organ. Up to 10 lead vocals and special guests also join in, including original artists from the Sixties. The line-up of the SWEET SOUL MUSIC REVUE includes Derrick Alexander from Detroit (Michigan), Ty Le Blanc (Louisiana), Elijah Salaah (Kansas City), Chris Lenyon from Maryland, Edward Wade from Nashville (Tennessee), and Darnita Williams from Atlanta (Georgia). The soloists are complemented and supported by 3 background vocals. As the host, the well-known entertainer, actor, and singer Ron Williams will guide the audience through the program while also giving insights into the history of soul.
