The Porretta Soul Festival will always be special because this is where Willie and the Soul Orchestra first performed together. We’ll be performing for 3 days of the festival with Willie and a cavalcade of guest artists. This is Willie’s 4th appearance at the festival and the 3 consecutive year. As for the Soul Orchestra, this will be the 6th consecutive appearance at the festival. Porretta is a quaint village in the Apennine Mountains between Bologna and Florence. Come eat some pizza and pasta and listen to some great soul music while you’re at it! LINK
