The Screaming Eagle of Soul Lands in Minneapolis May 7th!!!
Brooklyn-native funk/soul singer Charles Bradley has been making quite a name for himself these days. Having spent the last twenty years performing as a James Brown impersonator called “Black Velvet,” Bradley was discovered by Daptone Records co-founder Gabriel Roth. Several jam sessions with fellow Daptone labelmates The Sugarman 3 led to Bradley’s first full length record 2011’s gritty, but hopeful No Time For Dreaming. The album is packed full of emotionally-charged tales straight from Bradley’s difficult life, but you don’t need to know the lyrics to understand the pain; Bradley’s powerfully raw vocals shoot straight to the heart. His singing in “Heartache and Pain,” a song he wrote about the murder of his brother, brought me to tears the first time I heard it - it was so intense. His talented band The Menahan Street Band have provided a wonderful groove-worthy soundtrack to Bradley’s sometimes dark, sometimes tender portraits of American life.
Currently, Bradley is out on the road promoting his second record Victim of Love which drops April 2nd. He will be making a stop at the Cedar Cultural Center May 7th and it will be a damn shame if you miss this show! It should be some kind of national holiday! This is sure to be one of the best shows of the year.
"The unstoppable, untoppable victim of love" Charles Bradley will be heading out on tour in support of his second album Victim of Love, out next Tuesday, April 2nd on Daptone imprint Dunham Records.
