Experience the incredible sound of Otis Redding’s music as two of the UK’s most exciting soul acts join forces to create the world’s funkiest Otis tribute.
Originally commissioned by Soul Cookers Records for Saint Paul Soul Jazz Festival 2008, this authentic celebration of Otis’ music pairs charismatic Burundian singer songwriter Mudibu with Hammond and horns from The Jezebel Sextet.
The result is a truly uplifting show steeped in raw soul and late 1960s RnB (the real deal!!!) that is guaranteed to get you on the good foot. The show list features over 20 Otis Redding classics, performed live backed by a 7 piece band with Hammond organ, 3 piece horn section and 100% authentic instrumentation and arrangements.
Recent performances include The Jazz Cafe, The Boisdale Club, The Hideaway Club, and Hootananny in London; Band On the Wall in Manchester; The Stables in Milton Keynes; The Brewery Arts Centre in Kendal. Headline festival appearances include Saint Paul Soul Jazz Festival; Roubaix Vintage Weekender; Tighten Up Festival in Marseille; and Grand Casino Soulstice Party in Nice.

“Pure dynamite! One of the best funk soul bands in the world!” — DJ Healer Selecta
