Looks like we might have a musical lituation on our hands come February 2017. In addition to expected album releases from Avery*Sunshine and Cody ChesnuTT, The Soul Cruise sets sail for its inaugural voyage to Cuba (with Lalah Hathaway, Rahsaan Patterson, Mint Condition, Avery*Sunshine and more). And with the recent announcement of the NuSoul Revival Tour, it's clear that February is playing no games when it comes to good music.
Kicking off in Raleigh, North Carolina on February 3rd, the NuSoul Revival Tour is being brought to us by the producers of the ATL Soul Life Music Festival. The 22-city tour will be headlined by Musiq Soulchild, who is currently on the road with Love Jones: The Musical after releasing his seventh album Life on Earth earlier this year. Musiq will be joined our favorite married couple, Kindred the Family Soul (who still have us grooving to their Legacy of Love project), "jazzgosoul" diva Avery*Sunshine (who apparently will be getting no sleep for the month of February with all that she has going on) and Lyfe Jennings (who hopes to leave all his recent personal drama behind).
The NuSoul Revival Tour seeks to send the message that “Good Music Still Lives!” and also seeks to raise awareness for Alzheimer’s disease. So far, it's sounding like a pretty good show. The fact that our forever faves The Foreign Exchange, trap soul convert Chrisette Michelle and soulful crooner and new daddy Dwele will be joining the tour for select dates is just icing on this cake.
