Relaxed afternoon of live soul, reggae, blues and jazz with The Hippy Soul Sound, fronted by singer-songwriter Gail Edmunds.
The Hippy Soul Sound play Barnaby's Lounge on Sunday 1 November, from 4:30pm to 6:30pm. It's an afternoon session of original soul, with the band playing the songs of singer-songwriter Gail Edmunds.
Edmunds fronts the group, and the set is built around her own writing. She blends soul, reggae, blues and jazz, carrying them on her rich, powerful vocals and acoustic guitar. The band's sound is captured on their Fire In Your Soul EP, which they describe as being built around the uplifting spirit of 'Hippy Soul'.
There's a fair bit of history behind the voice. Edmunds has performed internationally alongside artists like Eddie Floyd and Terence Trent D'Arby, and she's the niece of the legendary Jamaican trombonist Rico Rodriguez. That mix of soul, reggae and jazz isn't just a description, then — it's right there in the family tree.
