It's Mother's Day and I couldn't think of a better person to feature than Moms Duke a-k-a Soul Mama a-k-a Ms. Clemercy. This is the lady who gave me love and most of all gave me music. I have so many vivid memories of growing up in Hiram Clarke, Houston and on any given day you could walk through the doors of our house and hear music. On this very special podcast of The Soul Brother Show - The Home of Heavy Soul and Raw Funk, Moms Duke and I reminisce on everything from her musical influences to what she's listening to these days and let me tell you cats and kittens: Even I was surprised! What makes this show extra special is I am giving away two free tickets to check out Will Downing and Maysa on Thursday, May 21st at Club Tequila here in Houston, Texas. In order to win, you have to listen to Moms Duke and I wax philosophic and be the first person to hit me at [email protected]. It's that simple. As always, sit back, relax, and enjoy!

After a nice hiatus to celebrate my recent birthday, I am back to do what I do best and that's give it to you in the name of good music and positive vibes. Several years ago, my man DJ MG hipped me to a young lady by way of the UK named Princess Freesia and when I heard this lady sing, I was blown away. This was soul music in it's purest form and I had to cop everything that had Princess Freesia's name on it. Back in February, along with producer extraordinaire Soulpersona they released their recent album Fast Forward and it's simply amazing. I was so excited about the new album that I reached out to Princess Freesia and through Skype we conducted an awesome interview, that is until the man himself showed up and my excitement level went through the roof! On this podcast of The Soul Brother Show - The Home of Heavy Soul and Raw Funk, we are going international as we feature music from Reel People, Omar, Martine Girault, and Wonderlush to name a few. As always, sit back, relax, and enjoy.
