20+ years of history… The unparalleled and definitive RNB music event returns…
Music for the Soul. You do the Dishes…
p.s. This event is, without compromise - for the musically inclined.
p.p.s. Get FAMILIAR. This is Soul Kitchen’s home for 2026...
p.p.p.s. This… is the Soul Kitchen Experience.
p.p.p.p.s. Look out for the Soul Kitchen mixtapes (Soul Kitchen Soundtracks, Summer Begins etc) periodically for a limited time only on #soulkitchenrnb on IG. Set alerts to get them before they go back in the vault like Disney movies…
p.p.p.p.p.s. Stay tuned for DJ reveal.
p.p.p.p.p.p.s. We won’t be doing that 12 dj foolishness. 1 dj -2 max and an emcee sometimes. Music needs time to BREATHE and djs can’t get you there with someone tapping them to get on while they’re curating the vibe. Stay tuned.
See you on the dance floor.
