Motown Stax Night ft. Roemen and the Whereabouts

Description

Roemen and the Whereabouts are four guys who love music. Not casually – deeply, completely, and with the kind of conviction that makes you believe every note they play.

Between them they’ve logged thousands of shows, music degrees, world tours, television and radio appearances, crowds of 4 and crowds of 65,000, and enough stage time to know exactly what it feels like when a room full of people stops thinking and starts feeling. They’ve earned every bit of it — and then decided to pour all of it into the music that moves them most.

Think Marvin Gaye seducing a room with effortless grace. Otis Redding breaking your heart open. Al Green lifting your spirit like a Sunday morning. Stevie Wonder stopping time with a single note. That’s the world Roemen and the Whereabouts live in — Motown, soul, and R&B played the way it was always meant to be played: by real musicians, in real time, with no loops, no shortcuts, and absolutely no cheating.

Their catalog runs deep — Marvin, Stevie, the Temptations, Al Green, Otis, the Supremes, the Commodores, Hall & Oates, Sam Cooke, Mayer Hawthorne, the Meters — and their original music lives comfortably in the same neighborhood. Delicious, as they say.

These four have been playing together in various combinations for years — through jazz groups, indie rock bands, wedding gigs, recording sessions, and everything in between — bound together by genuine friendship, deep musical roots, and a shared belief that this music deserves to be kept alive and played with everything you’ve got.

Come dance. Come sing. Come feel something real.
