The Mystic Soul Bubbas featuring Steve
Bassett
A 7 piece band of legendary Virginia rock and
soul musicians, fronted by the significant elders of the Virginia R&B
music scene, Ammon Tharp and Steve Bassett, throw down an evening of
the classic Soul hits gathered from the top ten charts of the Soul Music
radio stations in Richmond and Virginia Beach from 1965 to the early
seventies.
Ammon Tharp is the definitive voice and drummer of the hits by Bill Deal and
The Rhondels.
Steve Bassett is the co-author of Sweet Virginia Breeze and a renowned national
performer.
With their cooking rhythm section, Hammond B3, and pumping horns, they perform
the Soul Hits of Memphis, Motown, and Muscle Shoals with the energy of a strong
Friday night at a Southern college fraternity house in 1969. Their music and
groove has party and dance floor appeal.

Bio Ritmo
An
era of re-definition and experimentation, the seventies had a burgeoning
fascination with science-fiction as the age of technology began to
blossom. It was also a time of great musical innovation with the dawn
of the remix, disco, and hip-hop DJ’s borrowing from all over the musical
map and meshing new sounds—many of them influenced by technology—to
create music that made the Me generation dance. And this was the decade
that birthed the nine members of the post-salsa band Bio
Ritmo, who
bring that seventies style to their evolving brand of bionic Latin
dance music on their latest release, Bionico, released October 10th
on Locuter Records.
Full of innovation, groovy throwbacks, and futuristic adaptation, the band’s latest record is what lead man Rei Alvarez calls “a logical step in our evolution.” Following their trajectory of writing original songs that stay true to the soul of salsa, Bionico takes the classic style and zaps it, electrifies it, and what comes out is a super-Latin-dance-groove still oriented in great playing.
