Of all the incredible acts at the upcoming Langerado festival, I’m most excited to see Soul Sister #1 Sharon Jones and her Dap-Kings backing band for the first time.
Hey, I’m on board with any funky li’l lady that says “If you can’t feel the music on this album, then you must be a dead ass!” From the same hometown as James Brown, Ms. Jones has all the right moves and one of the most powerful female personas in the music business today. Ms. Jones, I’ll see you in March.
To get warmed up, here’s a great streaming audio link of Jones playing live at The Wireless on May 15, 2006, which was aired on Triple J Radio in Australia.
5/15/06 Setlist from the Wireless: How Do I Let A Good Man Down?, Got to Be The Way It Is, How Long Do I Have To Wait For You?, What If We All Stopped Paying Taxes, Fish in my Dish, Genuine
Encore: What Have You Done For Me Lately, Pick It Up, Lay It In The Cut

Saw these guys on Friday night in Hoboken. An Awesome show. The crowd absolutely ate it up. Can’t wait for their Langerado set.
