THE HOO DOO SOUL BAND

Local Columbus music lovers come together every Sunday night 10pm - 2am at Rumba Cafe ( 2507 Summit St.) to see The Hoo Doo Soul Band play a selection of funk, reggae, rock, and of course, soul. I saw them last Sunday and the house was packed with a variety of people who came to dance and enjoy. I went to see the show because a friend of mine plays drums with them now.

The band formed originally in 1995 from a group of local veteran players. Over the years the band has added and lost members along the way, but always stayed true to the soul. In 1999 they received the award "Best Cover Band" from Columbus Music Awards, and Best Live Performance in 2000. Hoo Doo opened for James Brown and Ray Charles in 2002.

To see what its all about, stop by Rumba on an upcoming Sunday night at you will not be let down.
