Soulive is heading back to Brooklyn Bowl for ten shows in March. The two-week residency, aptly dubbed Bowlive 2, marks the second year in a row that America’s preeminent organ groove trio hosts a funk-infused, multi-night blowout, glittered with special guests each and every set. Having already released a first round of musical co-conspirators set to join the festivities, including Corey Glover, Karl Denson, Lettuce, Maceo Parker, Matisyahu, Questlove and Van Hunt, Soulive is pleased to announce the additions of Bernie Worrell, Ivan Neville, John Scofield, Kofi and Oteil Burbridge, Pharoahe Monch, Robert Randolph and Wax. Over the course of ten nights, the band will delve deep into their decade-plus repertoire, while also paying special tribute to Parliament, Sly & The Family Stone and the music of New Orleans with a Mardi Gras celebration on Fat Tuesday.
In March of 2010, the members of Soulive hauled their instruments through the doors of a newly-opened warehouse-turned-music venue in Brooklyn that they would call home for the next two weeks. Eric Krasno, Alan Evans and Neal Evans called on a multitude of their closest friends and musical comrades to join them over the next fortnight – creating an incredibly broad guest lineup that included some of the greatest guitar virtuosos of the time (Derek Trucks, Warren Haynes), a handful of the biggest names in hip-hop (Questlove, Rahzel, Talib Kweli), and many of the most inventive improvisational players in modern rock n’ roll (Robert Randolph, Marco Benevento, Oteil & Kofi Burbridge).
