The first time I visited New York’s soul music community, the place that my friends made sure I went to was Sol Village at SOBs. It was a real find for me and a showcase of indie soul talent, hosted by the one and only Eric Roberson. So, as Sol Village prepares for its upcoming season of new music, we wanted to take a moment to give them som well deserved props. If you’re in New York, it is a great way to spend a Wednesday night…
Sol Village is one of New York City’s longest and most well respected R&B showcases. Running monthly it is hosted by the artist-singer-songwriter Eric Roberson since its inception, the series features some of the best up & coming talent in R&B.
Over its 10 years, Sol Village has featured artists such as John Legend, Musiq Soulchild, Erykah Badu, Raphael Saadiq, Common, Floetry, Dwele and more recently Luke James, Bridget Kelly, Laurianna Mae, Allen Stone, & Emily King to name a few. Its has served as a cultural breeding ground from which young acts have broken into the next level of their careers.
