| " Soul Deep was formed in early 2004 to play soul music - a combination
of urban blues, early R&B and Motown music, plus a dash of Jazz and
Rock. They have quickly become Dunedin's Premier Soul Band. Their style of music appeals to a wide cross-section of people and they are in high demand for functions, parties - events where people want something truely authentic and special.
Leading the soul artists whose music is covered by the band
include James Brown, Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, Otis Redding, Wilson
Picket and Etta James. As well the band covers leading Motown artists
such as Stevie Wonder, The Spinners and Martha Reeves, plus "white soul
artists" such as Van Morrison and Joe Cocker. Throw in some jump blues,
soulful ballads, afro/disco dance grooves and some Joe Setefano
originals and you have the Soul Deep mix.
This band is large! Currently there are ten members, comprising
two 3 female vocalists, one male vocalist and percussionist. Plus a horn section, drums,
bass, keyboards and guitar.
Soul Deep performances tend to become events, with an emphasis on
audience participation, dancing and enjoyment. As the band has become
better known it has tended to be engaged for more and more private
functions.
