Soul Provider live at West Seattle Street Festival 


I'll break from voice for this podcast and present some music. I said I wouldn't do music because of the RIAA problems with copyright, but this music slides right past the RIAA. The West Seattle Junction Street Festival has one great feature which sets it somewhat apart from the other, great, street festivals here in Seattle - on Saturday night from 8:00 pm to midnight - there's always a great band on stage in the middle of California Avenue SW and the music is always jamming because it's "Dancing in the Street" time. For four hours several hundred residents, kids included, gather in the street and dance, wear blinking LEDs on their bodies and generally jam in one giant community blow-out. This is a 27-minute presentation of this year's music by the Seattle soul and funk band "Soul Provider." The band is comprised of very accomplished musicians and they've been providing what they call a "sensational soul funk revue" for quite a few years now. The band has a large number of MP3s on their download page coupled with the fact that this capture is in a public setting gives me the feeling that there won't be any RIAA concerns. Enjoy - the recording is pretty good and definitely captures the live, jive, feeling of the night.
