Brian Owens and the Deacons of Soul

Apollo Music Café:
Brian Owens and the Deacons of Soul
Hosted by Jodine Dorce
Music by DJ Hard Hittin’ Harry
The Music Café is designed to attract intergenerational and forward-thinking artists and audiences alike. Featuring diverse performances across a myriad of genres (R&B, hip hop, soul, jazz, pop, funk and rock), the monthly series introduces new artists or musical projects to the local music circuit.
Brian Owens is vibrantly vintage—aesthetically he follows the groove gospel of classic 1960s and 1970s soul with heavy dose of traditional quartet stylings, but it has a very “in the now” emotionality. Brian and his core trio, The Deacons of Soul (Shaun Robinson, Alvin Quinn and Rob Woodie) offer an experience that invites audiences to partake to honor the past and attend to the present and future through performances that are about “preservation. Brian is making music with intent, art that inspires positive change. His vocals are a revelation—purposeful and passionate—he remains his own stylist while recalling the sensual urgency of Marvin Gaye, the comforting falsetto of Curtis Mayfield, and tender grit of Sam Cook.
