guitar, and J.P. Lapensée on electric bass – has built a steady following for
the Thursday jam, week in and week out.”

Soulstack
Atomic Rooster, 303
Bank Street
Sunday, June 18; 6-9
pm; no cover
Soulstack delivers a visceral experience; one of seasoned
musicians playing the music of their roots with authentic realism. It’s the
sound of Staples Singers-inspired southern harmony, tremolo-drenched baritone
guitar, with a late-sixties New Orleans-style rhythm section and the gurgle of
a Hammond organ driving it along with the unmistakable and distinctive voice of
Jon Knight. Currently, Soulstack is in pre-production for their 4th full-length
studio album, with the working title, “Sweaty Moments”.
Soulstack is: Jon
Knight (Vocal/Guitar), Mark Wessenger (Vocal/Piano/Organ), Chris Latta
(Guitar / Baritone), Darryl ‘Harpo’ Peterson (Bass) and Tom
Bona (Drums), with guest member Matt
Weidinger (Piano/Organ/Wurlitzer/Clavinet).
It is an experience to experience Soulstack.
