Soul music is a truly American creation. Just about every region of the country has its own variation. It’s a genre that truly adapts and reinvents itself with the times. When you’re looking for places to hear live soul music, NYC has no shortage of venues.

First of All, What is Soul Music?

Maybe you’re new to the scene and wondering what soul music is. Perhaps you’re a long-time fan of soul and trying to explain to a friend what ‘soul music’ is.

Soul music emerged in the 1950’s, making it a relatively new style. Soul has its roots in gospel music, and many interpretations and variations have since emerged. Many of these sounds are very different from each other. Every region has its own flair, and every group has a distinct style.

At the heart of it, ‘soul’ is music which is inspired by the African American experience in the US. It’s powerful, meaningful, and – as you might guess by the name – soulful.
