Upcoming Gigs October 24: Chalkers Pub - 9:30 pm to 2:00 am Reviews Soul Stew Volume Two CD release • March 15, 2009 • Lula Lounge • Toronto A Long Time Coming Lula Lounge was buzzing on Sunday for the release of Soul Stew’s new CD, Soul Stew Volume II, about ten years after the first, a long time to wait. The crowd of fans, gained along the way from Soul Stew’s days as the house band at Toronto’s iconic Bamboo Club, from packed Sunday nights at the College Street Bar, regular gigs at The Orbit Room, Dora Keogh’s pub and other venues around town, were joined by people who had never heard them before and would later leave happy to have “discovered” them. Some would discover new facets of musicians they knew in other contexts who are part of Soul Stew. How many jazz fans could imagine acoustic bassist Roberto Occhipinti with his classical background playing electric funk bass and singing back-up vocals? And how many could imagine jazz drummer Mark Kelso as a soul singer? (drumming simultaneously of course). Still, there is no doubt that the real focus of this band is Michael Dunston whose powerful voice was in its finest form on this Sunday night.
