    York Street Hustle is a 10 piece band- complete with horn section and three vocalists- devoted to faithfully recreating mid-century soul sounds using period techniques and equipment. Started in a former South Philadelphia funeral home as a rare-groove cover band, the group soon pivoted to performing classic soul covers, and has spent years honing their craft at small clubs and events. Alongside the legends of the 60s soul era like Stevie, Aretha and the Four Tops, the group gives new life to compositions by lesser-known artists including Donny Hathaway, Arthur Conley and Betty Everett, with grit, sweat and attention to detail. Their new release- a combination of original material bundled with a lost soul rarity- represents both a significant change and a return to form. The group remains rooted in the traditions of classic soul, funk, and breaks, identifiable to fans of soul revival outfits like Daptone and Colemine Records.

about

Brewerytown Records Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

The music is alive and very symbolic of Ron Aikens' life, evolution, and perspective. His newfound interest in his own music perhaps encouraged him to make one more swing at a dream that goes back nearly three-quarters of a century. "I'm here. I'm breathing," he says in a West Philly coffee shop with a smile and wide eyes. "I ain't gone yet. If I'm gonna breathe, I need to sing!" ... more
