Big Blu Soul Revue bring the soul of San Francisco to their music and live shows. With an extreme passion for 60’s and 70’s soul, funk rhythm & blues, the band shares music influences ranging from soul legends like Stevie Wonder , Aretha Franklin, Bill Withers and Marvin Gaye to funk and jazz artists like Sly & the Family Stone, The Meters, Herbie Hancock, Grant Green and many more. Their fresh approach brings a wide array of infectious dance grooves to their high-energy live show. The band’s latest release, Tongue & Groovin’, is available everywhere including Apple Music, Amazon Music, GooglePlay, Spotify, Bandcamp and many more sites.
The band formed in early 2012 by long-time Bay Area guitarist and vocalist Jason Movrich (The Mission Players, Jason Movrich & Friends). The band is comprised of a tight group of top notch musicians including vocalist Lydia Walker, Bay Area bassist John Bartlett, southern California native Blake Ritterman on drums, along with multi-saxophonist Brian Lassiter.
The band’s music is strongly influenced by the classic sounds of Motown, Stax, Daptones and Blue Note Records but with a fresh and original spin. “Our ultimate goal is to connect with our audience, get you to feel the groove that makes you want to dance,” says Movrich.
