Jay Funk Dawg Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 ROBERT RANDOLPH & THE FAMILY BAND WITH TAUK WESNESDAY, OCTOBER 27TH, 2010 THE MOD CLUB THEATRE – TORONTO Doors: 8:00PM Show: 9:00PM We started playing and touring around New York City in 2000, playing clubs like Wetlands, and things started to take off. We were selling out large New York clubs with no record deal, and it started to spread to Philly and Boston. Soon, we signed to Warner Brothers, and word began to get around about us nationally. Great artists like Eric Clapton and Dave Matthews and B.B. King accepted us. Young artists, too: we toured with the Roots and Pharrell and John Mayer. We have been fortunate to be accepted by a wide range of fan bases, and we have been able to build from there. I definitely feel as if everything has been working up to this moment, to this record. I’m very excited to play these tracks live. Those people who have been our fans and followers should see the progression from our last record to this one, and the road we’ve taken won’t seem too foreign to them. When people come to see us, they know that it’s really about the message, about making them feel good. Hopefully, this record will inspire them in the same way. It certainly makes me feel happy. I can’t see myself recording depressing lyrics, lyrics that leave people without a sense of hope. It’s not in me to use the power of the microphone to make music like that. That’s why this record is uplifting - it’s got great messages. It’s all there. My goal is to open the door for people, in the same way that musical doors have been opened for me. I want to take this musical history and make it relevant to give people a better idea of who I am and where I came from. I think even though I’m a young guy who was born into the era of hip-hop and contemporary gospel, I can help bridge the cultural gap between people who are seventy-five years old and kids who are fifteen years old by reaching back into this history of music. We Walk This Road was done in our belief in what we all need right now: young voices saying something positive without preaching in hopes of inspiring people. When you stick to what you believe in, and with the roots of where you come from, things will always work out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edger Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 Too bad its the same night as the Crowes or that it wasn't a late show (the latter of which you will probably never hear out of my mouth again) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanada Kev Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 Too bad its the same night as the Crowes or that it wasn't a late show (the latter of which you will probably never hear out of my mouth again) I hear ya! I'd totally catch a little Robert Randolph after the Crowes. Somehow, gotta make it to work the next day bright and early. All depends on my ride and how awake he can stay One ... more ... sleep ...
