Written By 3 - September 07 2009

Sole-Phonic - A Tribute To The Classics

Hot off the back of his highly successful Wellington exhibition at Manky Chops Gallery, Sole brings his latest work up to Auckland to serve up a tribute to the old school masters of Soul, Funk, Jazz, and all that classic goodness. Under the guise of ‘Sole-Phonic’, he launches a new extension to his alias, blending his passion for both music and art. This latest body of work is inspired by the forefathers & mothers of our modern music culture, and the record cover artworks that accompanied their vinyl 12” & 7” inch records. From the soulful depths of Nina Simone, Al Green, & Aretha Franklin, thru to the funky / jazzy grooves of James Brown, Miles Davis & Michael Jackson. Spread over two locations in the heart of Ponsonby, Solephonic will be on show at 7th Chamber Gallery, (next to the new BaseFM HQ) and Conch Records.

What: Sole-Phonic: A Tribute to the Classics
