In its flagship series, Eccentric Soul, the Numero Group of Chicago illuminates neglected soul gems through archival recordings and curated performances. This spectacular review reprises a storied tradition from the heydays of Motown and Stax: three vintage soul acts combine with one smoking band for a night of sweat-soaked entertainment.
The 1960s hit-maker Syl Johnson — a magnetic singer to rival Al Green — is enjoying a massive renaissance thanks to the Complete Mythology box set and a string of fantastic headlining performances. Curtis Mayfield protégés The Notations are a Temptations-style quartet with a rich four decade career, and Renaldo Domino is a best-kept-secret with a voice sweet as sugar. With vocal harmonies and backing by the Sweet Divines and their band, the authority and grit of authentic Chicago soul are revived at the Carolina Theatre.
Eccentric Soul Revue is a co-presentation of Duke Performances and the Carolina Theatre of Durham.
Duke students may purchase $5 tickets from the Duke University Box Office or the Carolina Theatre in person, on-line, or via phone.
Tickets to performances at the Carolina Theatre and DPAC are not available as part of a Pick-Four/25% package. However, patrons who purchase a Pick-Four package will receive a 25% discount code good for all Duke Performances' shows at the Carolina Theatre and DPAC.
