JULLY BLACK @ Club Soda

By Ann Marie Williams - Gospel Unlimited - 03/15/2008

Jully Black and her band took over Club Soda on last Saturday. She commanded the stage the moment she stepped on it. Her performance was engaging and very enjoyable! She really connected with the audience, especially when she acknowledged what seemed to be an autistic young girl in the front row. The look of appreciation on the child’s mother’s face said it all. Yes, there were some children there -- it was a family show.

When Jully closed the show with “Seven Day Fool,” the entire audience was on their feet. Her live performance was just as good, if not better, that her recorded version. For the encore Jully and her traffic band performed two of Bob Marley’s classics, acknowledging her Jamaican heritage. Awesome!

Pick up a copy of her second CD, Revival, which was released in October 2007 -- it’s well worth it. She is nominated for The Juno Awards’ “Single of the Year” and “R& B Song of the Year.” Good luck Jully, and thanks for the autograph!

Tune in to Gospel Unlimited with Ann Marie every Saturday from 10am – 12pm
