Genre: Culture

Soul Quench

With Lizzie —

Soul music is traditionally a secular form of gospel, a major Black musical genre in the 1960’s and 70’s that became politically significant during the Civil Rights Movement.

Soul Quench plays anything from: Old School Soul; R&B; Funk; Chicano Soul; Gospel; Acid Jazz …to anything that fits the brief of: soulful vocals; soulful lyrics, soulful beat … anything that makes you want to dance, cry or fall in love again.

I keep mind the word sonder — the profound feeling of realizing that everyone, strangers passing the street, have a life as complex as one’s own, despite our lack of awareness of it. Everyone’s going through his or her own stuff!

Anyhow one man’s soul is another man’s schmaltz. Over the two-hour show I hope you hear something that hits the sweet spot!

Meet Me at the Movies

With Maggie Morgan.

The legendary film critic Roger Ebert described movies as “… a machine that generates empathy.”

Some movies can change the way we see the world, like the 2004 movie The Day After Tomorrow, which helped increase climate change awareness.

Meet Me At The Movies isn’t just about a movie, it’s also about the narrative of the actors, directors and composers with soundtracks, weaving through their stories.
