The Soul Kitchen Big Band will be rockin’ Charley’s Restaurant & Saloon and serving up a cool eclectic blend of covers and originals on Saturday, Jan. 23, from 8 to 10 p.m.

Soul Kitchen is acoustic-infused musical alchemy, both blending and transcending the traditional genres of soul, blues, jazz, classic rock, Cajun zydeco and Middle Eastern influences.

The soaring, soulful vocals of award-winning lead singer Tempa (“Best Colorado Blues Band,” “Best Soul Album” awards) and sweetly exotic rhythms of guitarist Naor (Israeli Idol musical finalist) transport listeners to new realms of feeling and musical enjoyment.

Impeccable four-part harmonies and inspired interplay among the violins, saxophone, piano, upright bass and Cuban “cajón” drum complete the sublime flavor, making this band an essential Maui experience for the musical senses.
