Ruby Velle & The Soulphonics
Deep,Raw Funk. Stax-Style Southern Soul. Positively Uplifting & Original Motown-Channeling Anthems.
Atlantas Ruby Velle and the Soulphonics are the heirs to the thrones of the old-school masters. But theyre much more than just a group of revivalists trying to create a period piece. Powerhouse singer Velle and her band will settle for nothing less than bringing these classic sounds glimmering into the now with a fresh, new contemporary sheen.
Its this inviting and accessible bravado that has scored the band critical acclaim from outlets such as The New York Daily News, MTV, Paste and more. And in addition to their critical success, at a time when record sales are at an all- time industry low, the completely independent, DIY-minded Velle and the Soulphonics sold a quarter-million downloads of their single, My Dear on iTunes, landing them in the top 30 on Billboards Heatseeker charts and at a stunning #4 on the iTunes R&B charts when their debut album Its About Time was released in 2012.
The group has shared bills with megastars and indie press darlings alike, including The Temptations, Lee Fields & The Expressions, Iggy Pop, Erykah Badu, Goodie Mob, Gary Clark Jr., Animal Collective, Feist, Bush, The Wailers, Dumpstaphunk, Bombino, Peaches, The Internet and Kendrick Lamar.
