HATTheatre is excited to welcome Aristotle Jones
and his band to Richmond as part of his
"Streets of Osage, Musical Storyteller Tour".
Jones is a professional musician and storyteller who plays what he calls “Appalachian Soul” – a mix of soul, R&B, doo-wop, gospel, funk, and folk. It’s an eclectic blend that reflects his identity as a Black Appalachian and specifically, his roots in Osage.
From his interview last year with V13 Media about his new record:
“Like many rural black families in my neck of the woods, the roots of soul music in Appalachia are woven directly through my family tree. All it took were the right conditions for a modern branch of Soulful Folk music to bud and spout new life in the hills of West Virginia. Mountain Doo-Wop & Street of Osage serves as an addition to the almost lost musical history of Gospel, Soul, R&B, Rock N’ Roll, Blues, and Folk music that were once found in many rural black communities in the mountains and aims to inspire the next chapter of this living legacy.”
"The sounds and styles are timeless, the sonics are fresh, and the concept of genre blending, and storytelling through song is traditional."
