Oh What A Night! The Akina-Nakia Soul Shakedown is definitely gonna be a groovin show. It will be one of those nights where
you have no worries in the world. You know… when
you forget other people exist around you and just let
loose.
Akina Adderly and The Vintage Playboys fill the stage
with a nine-piece band. With so many different
instruments Akina stands in the middle almost as a
conductor, leading with her powerful voice. Plus, she’s
adorable. If you haven’t heard Nakia yet, which I think
is pretty impossible by now, you are in for a treat. He
has a voice that hits all those notes that you’re dying to
hear, and a range that has no bounds. His sound is
filled with passion and soul and you can see how
sincere it is by his stage presence. Did I mention
internationally inspired jam band Hardproof Afrobeat
will be the special guest, and if their music doesn’t
make you move your feet I just don’t know what will.
