“I was absolutely blown-away by what I saw and heard tonight while visiting Nashville Tennessee’s 3rd & Lindsley pub when I was invited to hear The ConSoulers. After hearing them do dead-on, tight covers and originals reminiscent of classic hits from The Spinners, Stevie Wonder, The Doobies, Sly and the Family Stone and The Four Tops the “ConSOULers” make their mark playing classic soul hits and doing them justice as if they were spawned yesterday.”
