The Soul of John Black is a band with a sound born of its leader's varied experiences.
John Bigham has played with ska-funk band Fishbone, as well as jazz legend Miles Davis.
The Washington Post called the band "a throwback to those days in the early '70s when artists such as Curtis Mayfield, Marvin Gaye, Bill Withers and Sly Stone were making smart soul music for adults, full of funky grooves and slice-of-life irony."
The Soul of John Black will play Plush at 11 p.m. Friday. Michael P's Big Band opens at 9:45. Tickets are $8.
