The evening began with the core trio from Soulive who delivered a sweet instrumental version of The Beatle\u2019s \u201cRevolution.\u201d \u201cBubble\u201d was up next, from 2007\u2019s No Place Like Soul<\/em>, followed by \u201cSpark.\u201d The vibe then quickly charged as saxophonist and frequent collaborator Sam Kinninger joined the band on stage. He sat in for \u201cHurry Up\u2026 and Wait\u201d (Doin\u2019 Somethin)<\/em>, \u201cRudy\u2019s Way\u201d (Get Down!<\/em>) and \u201cLiquid\u201d (Next<\/em>). The horn section increased by two at the end of the set as James Casey and Brian Thomas joined the party for a deliciously funky \u201cTuesday Night Squad.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Set two raised the bar as guitarist Dan Mayer, from Star Kitchen, added another strong guitar presence on stage. Krasno announced that Dan Mayer \u201cis one of my favorite guitarists.\u201d The quartet opened with \u201cCurse Lifter,\u201d followed by a stellar instrumental version of Jimi Hendrix\u2019 \u201cManic Depression,\u201d showcasing the talents of both guitarists. The horn trio then joined the squad once again and delivered a funky \u201cBackwards Jack.\u201d Mayer left the stage and the sextet rolled on with \u201cUp Right,\u201d \u201cHat Trick,\u201d and \u201cPJ\u2019s\u201d. The set closed out with \u201cCanonball,\u201d another Doin\u2019 Something<\/em> track. Mayer joined the stage once again for the encore of \u201cFlurries\u201d which included audience confetti. All seven musicians took a bow, and wrapped up another successful Soulive residency at the Brooklyn Bowl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
