Grammy Nominated acid jazz pioneers Liquid Soul are a fiery concoction of classy soloists, heavy rhythm merchants and hip-hop cognoscenti.

Liquid Soul has performed in 42 states and throughout Canada and Japan, plus shows in Germany, Turkey, Russia, Austria, Poland, Mexico and beyond...
“Liquid Soul is among the many ’90s/2000s outfits who brings an obsession with ’70s African-American culture to the table; on Evolution, the Chicago residents make no secret of their passion of ’70s soul, ’70s funk, and ’70s jazz-funk. Thankfully, Liquid Soul does it better than most of the competition.” - Alex Henderson

Sporting a revamped lineup and a new disc, they’re sure to get the Village Underground on their feet.”
