8.45pm Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings

Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings have come a long way since their humble beginnings nearly a decade ago. Steeped within the gilded and gritty sounds of gospel, soul and funk, this nine-piece Brooklyn collective has continued to electrify fans, DJs, critics, record collectors and bloggers the world-over with their authentic sound. The band’s three critically acclaimed albums – Dap Dippin’ (2002), Naturally (2005) and 100 Days, 100 Nights (2007) -  recall an analogue era led by iconic studios like those at Motown and Stax Records and have thrust them into the limelight.

In April 2010 the band released I Learned the Hard Way, their fourth album and marks a bold step forward for a band who almost singlehandedly stewarded today’s return of soul music to its more traditional sound.
