Cafe Soul Tonight

When it comes to African-American themed entertainment in St. Louis, the choices are woefully limited, and as everyone knows, going out in St. Louis is, sadly, a fairly segregated affair. Cafe Soul (tonight at the Missouri History Museum) appears to be an unique and upscale venue that will appeal to both races, and should be a blast. Here is a note I received from Angela, one of the organizers:

Cafe Soul is a monthly event that caters to the mature adult that loves live music and raw talent. The event is an open mic for aspiring and established singers and musicians in St. Louis and on a national level. We started Cafe Soul back in June and it has grown tremendously as there is a void in the music scene for this type of an event. We have a live band every month, the band consists of talented musicians that write and record their own music. We've tried to create an event that did not exist here in St. Louis that would be an alternative to going to the night club. We're hoping that Cafe Soul becomes a staple in St. Louis and that when anyone, whether local or national, thinks about great live music and an exciting vibe, they think about Cafe Soul. We have a bit more work, to do, but I think we're on the right track!!

The History Museum was kind enough to allow us to host our event there in conjunction with their latest exihibit The Visions of American Liberty and Freedom. The exihibit will be open to walk through the night of the event and the venue itself compliments what Cafe Soul is about.... creating an experience.
