On Friday, June 19th, NMJW welcomes the funkified Blues of Soul Kitchen-- a relatively new band made up New Mexico music veterans Chris Dracup, Tommy Elskes and Hillary Smith, winner of the 2009 Mic Award in five categories. Smith has great things to say about her new band.

"We started things up last Fall and have been blessed with enthusiastic audiences and a steady stream of work," Smith says. Smith explains that it took a bit of persuasion to get Elskes and Dracup to form Soul Kitchen but they finally came around. " I heard Tommy and Chris play for the first time last summer, and I fell in love with those beautiful brothers," Smith adds. "I pretty much just asked if I could be in the "boy's club" and kept asking till they said yes!" Soul Kitchen continues to thrill New Mexico audiences-- don't miss this concert in a setting befitting the stature of these artists.
