Legendary trumpet player Mac Johnson, with the boys Leo and Ryan at "The Eclectic Collective presents The Soul Serenade"

This show starred Mississippi blues pioneer Ernest Lane- and featured some amazing artists on backup! What a show that was- was amazing to see people get up out of their seats and dance honoring some of the movers and shakers of boogie woogie blues!- in a theater nonetheless- but when the people wanna dance- the people dance!

Steph Johnson graced the stage singing Ike and Tina's "Fool in Love"- she channeled the R&B rock and roll legend Tina Turner- but who wouldn't be inspired standing in front of "The Kings of Rhythm" the folks that played that song with Tina back in the day!

JZMN came on and gave a healthy dose of the new school with their hip hop R&B inspired song "Get On"- which premiered on their album recorded in India while studying under the auspices of the one and only Pandit Ravi Shankar-

Chris Schmoke lent his amazing voice to act as master of ceremonies- and rocked it! The show was an absolute blast- and everyone in the audience learned a little about deep south blues that night through the EC produced Multimedia video and amazing musical line up-- what a night!
