Abingdon, Virginia (PRWEB) September 02, 2013 -- On September 5, 2013, Ruby Velle and the Soulphonics will take the stage at the Abingdon Market Pavilion. Their roots are embedded in the rich sound and history of Georgia soul, beginning with the early 50’s and 60’s R&B that became so well known around the world. Having performed countless gigs since 2005, and with a slew of 45rpm singles already under their belts, the band has already contributed heavily to the steadily increasing awareness of genuine rhythm and blues music that exists today. They pack clubs and festivals with their original brand of soul, all of which is written and recorded in Atlanta.
“It’s About Time,” the full-length debut album from Atlanta’s Ruby Velle & the Soulphonics, has quickly made waves around the globe since its recent September 2012 release. Billboard has recently ranked the album in the top 30 on the Heatseeker charts, a chart devoted to emerging artists.
The Town of Abingdon has created a Thursday Jams concert series for the summer as part of the Abingdon Music Experience. Starting May 16th until September 19th, there will be nationally recognized bands showcased at the Abingdon Market Pavilion each Thursday. Each concert will start at 6:30pm and will be free to the public. Attendees can bring their own lawn chairs and blankets. There will be food and beverage vendors serving BBQ, Hamburgers and Pizza.
