Tortured Soul - Cliff Bells Detroit - Sat May 23rd 2009

This saturday night after you are all sweated out from MOVEMENT 2009 head on over to Cliff Bell's in Detroit - there is a chilled out funky band playing called Tortured Soul who are on a mini-tour promoting their new record "Did You Miss Me"

Anyone who spends a lot of their life on the road will relate to the overarching them of Tortured Soul’s new album, Did You Miss Me, a 13-song riff on travel and it’s various tribulations.

The album’s opening track, “Home To You,” is an open-letter to a lover left waiting at home for their loved one to return, while other tracks explore feelings alienation and jealously that crop up between distanced lovers.Drummer/vocalist John-Christian Urich, bassist JKriv and keyboardist Ethan White have played close to 400 shows together worldwide in Tortured Soul’s 5-year touring history, so it’s no wonder they have transit on the brain.

Their unique live performances have astounded audiences around the world, from top nightclubs such as Fabric (London) to 15,000+ crowds at the Montreal Jazz Festival.

Tortured Soul offer a all-too-rare opportunity to experience soulful dance music performed completely live. Their style echos the past while looking to the future, combining elements of old soul and funk with a live, “rock band” sensibility.
