SOUL PATROL WELCOMES SOUL SINGER/SONGWRITER MARLON SAUNDERS TO PHILADELPHIA SATURDAY, MAY 1
Marlon Saunders, co-founder and lead singer of Jazzhole, comes to Philadelphia May 1 for a
listening party and celebration of his recent critically-acclaimed solo debut, Enter My Mind.
The New York-based singer/songwriter/producer will also sit at the keyboard for a few live
musical selections. This free event begins at 8 pm at the Intermezzo Café and Lounge, located
at 3131 Walnut Street in Philadelphia.
Saunders, who is also a faculty member at the prestigious Berklee College of Music, creates
soulful melodies that keep the legacy of good Black music alive. Emphasis is placed on vocal
harmony while the band is used to lay the basic foundation of rhythm and soul ala the sounds
and stylings of Donny Hathaway, Gil Scott Heron, and Roy Ayers. Saunders’ use of poetic
lyrics, inspired by the writings of Nikki Giovanni, allows the listener to discover the
complexities that he sees in soul music.
Saunders has worked with such renowned artists as Sting, Bobby McFerrin, Billy Joel and
Michael Jackson, and has penned songs for Barry White, Maysa Leek and Vanessa Rubin. His
recently released solo project, Enter My Mind (Black Honey Records/Soulbrother Records UK) has
been rated "exceptional" by Vibe Magazine and described by The Baltimore Sun as an invitation
"into a sun-drenched place of romantic and spiritual love, of inspired funk, passion and rich
imagery.”
