“New York City is bigger, Chicago is windier, Atlanta is warmer, but of all the chocolate cities, Buffalo may be the baddest….”
-Rick James
Neal Evans played at the Westcott Theater with Soulive in 2009.
We caught Soulive for the first time almost a decade ago. Their brand of funk is maybe the closest thing we’ve heard to the Sound of Minneapolis (The Time, The Revolution, Flyte Tyme Productions).
Neal Evans (above) and his brother are from Buffalo, where July 9th is considered Soulive Day.
In addition to the music, Evans also scores films (most recently “The Boomer List” by Timothy Greenfield-Sanders).
