The Soul Immigrants

The fabulously funky Soul Immigrants are playing for you again.

When they last played, their particular style of up-tempo funk and soul was a huge hit - Boogying in the aisles!

Hailing from South London, The Soul Immigrants are fine purveyors of energetic Soul, Jazz Funk (& beyond)

A four-piece funk engine masterminded by Nitin Sawhney (before his solo career) and singer/guitarist Emrys Baird.

They’ve been plying their trade ever since releasing their critically acclaimed ‘Bank From The Brink ‘ in 2020 on leading U.K. Jazz label Lateralize and putting out 45 singles on their own label. Their last vinyl single featured The JB’s maestro Fred Wesley and was played heavily by Gilles Peterson and Craig Charles. Their current 2023 single ‘Blame It On The Endgame’ ( Burning Sole Records Basel) is also garnering critical acclaim and being played by Jazz FM and BBC6 Music. Be prepared for a wonderfully textured, well-crafted and interesting mix from some of London’s most experienced musicians. Expect hot solos & fireworks and some audience participation because it’s party time! youtu.be/cigcLYB-DTM?si=5NsCWCQaESQzIlfQ

Soul Immigrants sound leaner and meaner than ever before as they stir up a potent Gumbo stew of funk, soul and jazz with their distinctive British swagger’ – Jazzworld.com
