“… these cats are cutting their own groove, shaking the walls and earning their place among the torchbearers of New Orleans funk.” Marc Stone – 90.7 WWOZ & Offbeat
Built upon the funky foundation of New Orleans, Soul Project NOLA bring their own voices to the mix of Funk, Blues, Gospel, Jazz, and Groove that the Crescent City continually produces. Bandleader, guitarist and vocalist Jon Cristian Duque, protege of the late great Walter “Wolfman” Washington, has led the band for over two decades. The core rhythm section of Duque, Maureau and Joseph is a tight and funky unit that provides the infectious grooves and precision arrangements for which the band is known. Augmented by some of the best musicians in the city, the band has toured coast to coast in the United States and has traveled as far as Northern Europe to play clubs and festivals.
