Eban Brown

Eban Brown plays Social on Saturday 21 November, a one-night-only show in Hull. He's a soul singer with a career that stretches across some of the biggest names in the genre, and the set is built around the classic soul repertoire he's spent decades fronting.

For nearly twenty years, Brown was the lead singer of The Stylistics, one of the 1970s' most successful soul groups. They recorded for AVCO Records and later Philadelphia International, and earned a Grammy nomination for You Make Me Feel Brand New, alongside hits like You Are Everything and Can't Give You Anything. Brown joined in April 2000 as the group's first replacement lead vocalist, and he's since become the longest-serving singer in their history.

That's not the only soul pedigree he brings to the stage. Before The Stylistics, he sang with Ray, Goodman and Brown — better known as The Moments — and the Grammy-winning Manhattans. He later fronted The Delfonics, where he became the first and only lead singer to receive a NAACP Award. Beyond the singing, he's a songwriter and a jazz guitarist, and he's produced for the US rap artist Rob Base. He also runs his own label, Stardom Records LLC, and is described as the youngest Classic Soul Recording Artist in the history of Classic Soul Music.

It's a one-night-only date, so there's no second chance if you miss it. The show starts at 7:30pm at Social, 63 Humber Street, Hull HU1 1TU, and tickets are £27.50 including the booking fee.
