Rock Paper Soul On Your Radar!

New York, New York (April 5th 2012) With the indie soul music scene steadily paving its way through the rough, it is inevitable that different platforms will flourish in order to give these burgeoning artists a place to share their artistry with the masses. Out of this need surfaced Rock Paper Soul, the brainchild of Speek Greene and contributing partner Richard Johnson. Both have the expertise of promoting, DJing and producing respectfully, under their belt. By bridging they’re talents together with their love for music, Rock Paper Soul is geared up to bring you the indie soul experience that has long been talked about, but never produced – until now.

Rock Paper Soul presents a stage solely for indie artists to showcase their work for an audience who loves, respects, and are fans of the indie soul genre. Securing a place for opened minded and upscale music lovers, Rock Paper Soul will be taking place in Manhattan at DROM NYC May 3, 2012. All artist submissions will be prescreened, to achieve the most enjoyable show and ambience for Rock Paper Soul clientele.

New York City boasts a large following, when it comes to indie soul concerts and events. Everyone comes from near and far - Brooklyn, Manhattan, Harlem,Westchester County, Connecticut and New Jersey. The energy created by the spectacular performances from the roster of indie soul artist on the horizon, will parlay into Rock Paper Soul becoming the trusted event known not only in Manhattan but throughout the neighboring boroughs and beyond.

This edition of Rock Paper Soul will feature Sy Smith & ZO! along with Morris Alan & Darien Dean backed by the Black Belt Freaks. The event will be hosted by comedian Kyle Grooms. Each artist in their own right will leave you with a soulful experience that will leave you wanting for more.
