Joining us fresh from the American independent soul scene is Eric Roberson. Eric has been making music for more than a decade, quietly building a massive following in the US, collaborating with artists such as Jill Scott and Musiq Soulchild and Will Downing, as well as featuring on the Jazzy Jeff album The Magnificent.
The New Jersey-based vocalist is fast becoming one of America’s top independent soul stars, releasing a series of acclaimed albums on his own label. Eric will be performing songs from his new album Left, including the single ‘Been In Love’
Atlanta soul star ANTHONY DAVID, recently seen on BBC TV’s Later…with Jools Holland, will appear as special guest with fellow US soul singer ERIC ROBERSON and his band at The Drum, Birmingham on Saturday October 6th.
Many critics have compared Anthony to a modern-day Bill Withers, with his blues voice and the contemporary social issues he tackles in some of his songs, like the album title track about gentrification and rebuilding of the inner city, and the pushing out of long-time, low-income residents.
