ALVIN FOSTER AND SOUL ECLECTIC BAND BRING THE BEAT OF MOTOWN AND SOUL MUSIC TO LAST GLOUCESTER MEETINGHOUSE CONCERT, SEPTEMBER 7
Alvin Foster, vocalist, music director, songwriter and teacher, and his band Soul Eclectic, will perform at the final free Gloucester Meetinghouse Summer Concert Series Friday, September 7, 6 – 9 pm, at the corner of Church and Middle Street.
Boston-based, Alvin Foster found his passion in music through immersion in Hip-Hop, and later, Soul and Jazz. He counts Miles Davis, James Brown, Lou Rawls and Aretha Franklin as profound musical influences. Alvin has been performing in the Boston area for 10 years. He is currently Executive Director for SaveOurSelves Productions, a multi-faceted musical platform producing live concerts, studio recordings, publications and educational clinics. Alvin is also a faculty member of his alma mater, Berklee College of Music.
Alvin and his band Soul Eclectic will take you back in time to the 60s, 70s and 80s. As he said, “We will play soul music underpinning Black people’s courage to be happy and celebrate life, love, spirituality and growth in the face of racism.” The band celebrates and features artists that grew up alongside Motown. Enjoy the rhythm and mojo of Alvin Foster on vocals, Tricia Reed on vocals, Oscar Brown III on guitar, Briana Washington on keyboard, Min Jae Yim on bass, and Jarrell Campbell on drums.
The concert is free. As with all of Gloucester Meetinghouse Green’s concerts, the audience is encouraged to make free-will donations. The last concert is dedicated to the Gloucester Meetinghouse Foundation, founded in 2015. The mission of the Meetinghouse Restoration Project is to complete a historically informed but fully functional building restoration, both to preserve this important landmark and to be a cultural gathering place for all of Gloucester and Cape Ann.
Fresh, all-natural food is provided by The Common Crow. In case of inclement weather the concert will be held inside the Meetinghouse. Parking is available on Meetinghouse Green, nearby lots, and at St. Peter’s Square.
Music on Meetinghouse Green’s sponsors include Linzee and Beth Coolidge; J.J. and Jackie Bell; Michael and Mary Bresnan; JoeAnn Hart and Gordon Baird; Harry and Mary Hintlian; Charles Nazarian; Dick and Doris Prouty; Sandra Ronan; Brent and Linda Wilkes; Tom and Kristin Zarrella; and our corporate sponsor Cape Ann Savings Bank.
Dinner Specials Each Week!
Wednesday, August 29 – 7pm
My Musical Guest: JOHN ROCKWELL!
A typical “Rockwellian” evening at the Rhumb Line might consist
of a number of delightful elements… say, one familiar fan-favorite
song after the next (non-stop), many hilarious interactions with
everyone onstage and in the audience, continuous great singing
and great playing from a strikingly handsome guy – wait, that’s
ME! Naw, just kiddin’. It’s all things associated with one man
and one man only – our precious local treasure, Mr. John Rockwell.
We roll at 7. ~ Fly
Dinner with great music!
