Ian Draves formed the soul-funk band Soul Sherpa with musicians he met while a student at Kirkwood Community College. Today, it’s one of the Corridor’s busiest bands, and is putting on a unique, collaborative concert called The Corridor Record Project, where Soul Sherpa will arrange a tune written by another regional band, incorporating funk beats and their horn section.
Ian and Erika Pohlman tell Dennis that this means Soul Sherpa will incorporate the diverse elements of Folk, rock, blues, and hip-hop from the other bands into the tune they do together. It’s more than just adding horns. The concert will be recorded and distributed for free.
Guest musicians include:
• Jeremy Jacobs
• Evan Stock
• Ivory James
• Treesreach
• Joe Blesz (from 6 Odd Rats)
• Case the Joint
• Layton White
• Duchess
• Flash In A Pan
• The Uniphonics
Friday, Sept. 7 at The Englert Theatre. More information at www.englert.org.
