Sharon Jones is stepping out

Tue 7th Sep, 2010 in Local News

The mother of soul, Sharon Jones is returning to Australia this December to play at the Festival Of The Sun and pay Aunty Meredith a visit.

However, if you can’t make it up to Port Macquarie to see Jones and her Dap Kings shake their thing then never fear, because the band is also playing a run of national theathre dates in early December.

With a reputation for one of the best live shows going around, the last time the sassy Ms J was down under in 2009 our reviewer summed up the electric energy of a Dap Kings show: “The mood is pure joy, and even when it rains on us again no one seems to mind. Instead [the crowd is] happy to be entertained by one of the hardest working bands in show business.”

Having just released their most commercially successful album I Learned the Hard Way in April, these shows are sure to be chock full of soul-filled goodness.
