You may know Irish singer, songwriter and heartthrob Brian
McFadden from his time as member of the phenomenally popular boy band Westlife,
his five exceptionally successful solo albums, or his appearances on such shows
as Australia’s Got Talent, Dancing on Ice and Australian Idol. Though he’s
found worldwide success as a pop singer, this gifted vocalist and musical icon
has long held a passion for soul music that’s never been fully expressed: until
now.
Capturing his love of soul music in his 2019 studio album
Otis, McFadden recorded a passionate tribute to the soul legends of the ‘50s
and ‘60s that received rave reviews. Featuring covers of truly classic soul tunes
like “These Arms of Mine” and “Loving You Too Long” alongside collaborations
with artists such as Mica Paris, Otis saw McFadden showcas a side of himself
that many fans had never seen: authenticity, maturity, and true emotion.
Capturing his latest record in an unforgettable live
performance, McFadden has developed the Soul Jam tour, a soul celebration that sees
the former Westlife member perform classics from Otis Redding, Ray Charles and
Eddie Floyd, paying tribute to the history of soul music with the help of an
exceptionally talented nine-piece band. Showcasing the strength and versatility
of his vocal talents while revisiting some of the most famous tunes of the soul
canon (along with a few Westlife favourites along the way) McFadden has put
together what is undoubtedly his most exciting live project to date.
