R.E.S.P.E.C.T. - A Tribute to the Golden Era of Soul

Fairfield Soul Revue Orchestra

Sondheim Theater, Fairfield Convention Center

March 11-12, 2011

"Sometime in the spring/summer of 2010, a small group of my closest musician friends and I gathered together in my studio with the idea of mounting a full blown soul revue that would feature the best of Stax, Motown, Atlantic and Philly soul (or at least the songs that we loved the best) with an eye towards staging this at the Sondheim Theater in Farifield, Iowa. March 11 and 12 of 2011 became our target date. We had just participated in the Motown show for the Fairfield Musicans Club in the winter of 2010 and decided to try to expand on it. Our small band of merry pranksters soon grew to almost 20 plus musicians. Horn section, background singers, 5 lead singers, percussion section, violin, rhythm section and of course....choreographed dancers. Somehow we managed to fit everyone into my studio which now had become known as the Soul Shack. After rehearsing for almost a year and lots of blood, sweat and tears we put on a spectacular show to an enthusiastic sold out house. This was a labor of love for all involved and a moment of pure joy that we feel lucky to have experienced." by Kent Hofmeister
