Reuben James Richards sings stax and atlantic inspired songs at Hidaway Jazz Club Streatham South London

The sounds of the hottest Stax and Atlantic soul inspired songs from REUBEN JAMES RICHARDS and an all-star band with guest vocalist soul jazz singer Rouhangeze Baichoo. A top night of gospel-tinged blues, soul & R'n'B is guaranteed as Reuben's dazzling voice evokes memories of Sam Cooke, Wilson Pickett and Otis Redding!

Soul Jazz singer Rouhangeze Baichoo will be backing vocalist and dueting for one special song with Reuben James Richards.

 

From its inception to completion, the recording of Reuben James Richards debut album ‘About Time’ took almost twenty years, but it seems that soul fans think the wait worthwhile with the late legendary producer, Jerry Wexler (Atlantic), describing Reuben as possessing one of the greatest voices he had heard in a decade.

“I’m so glad this album has seen the light of day, I’ve been playing this a lot” Craig Charles, BBC Radio2

“The influence of Ray Charles and Otis Redding oozes from every note on a warmly authentic set of gospel-tinged blues, soul & R’n’B songs” Uncut Magazine
