Sol & the Gang

Sol & the Gang is a UK group founded by J-Sol, an award-winning artist and choreographer, bringing together RnB, hip-hop, soul and afrobeats in a concert on a national tour that stops in London.

Sol & the Gang was founded by J-Sol, an award-winning artist and choreographer who appeared on The X Factor. The group draws on RnB, hip-hop, soul and afrobeats, and its material spans the decades from Motown to present-day RnB, with classic tracks from that period alongside new original music released to coincide with the tour.

The line-up is a hand-picked selection of singers, musicians and dancers from across the UK. J-Sol takes the lead on vocals and also shapes the choreography. The emphasis is on polished production and tight musicianship, with the group moving between genres within a single performance.

The London date takes place at indigo at The O2, a venue that hosts concerts and shows. The group's name echoes that of Kool and the Gang, the American funk, jazz and rhythm and blues group formed in Jersey City, New Jersey, in 1964 as The Jazziacs, whose self-titled debut album appeared on the De-Lite label in 1969.
