Get ready to get funked! These guys are bringing us a blend of soul, brass funk, and Americana to Kings all the way from Asheville. And we’ve got the incredible Aarik Duncan of NiiTO and Season 28 of The Voice with a solo set to get us settled in for the evening!

“Hustle Souls, based in Asheville, NC, masterfully blend Retro-Soul, Brass Band Funk, and Singer-Songwriter Americana into a unique and captivating sound. Lauded by American Blues Scene as a “generation-jumping mashup of new school second line funk with old school vintage soul,” and described by Bluestown Music as “intimate soul…with a Curtis Mayfield like warmth,” the band has earned a spot as one of Music Connection Magazine’s “Hot 100 Live Unsigned Artists & Bands.””
