Dublin Soul is a project led by keyboardist/ singer/ songwriter Eamonn Flynn. Fresh off a European tour where they headlined Porretta Soul in Italy and Howth Blues and Roots in Ireland, they are bringing their unique blend of funky soul music to Keys Jazz Bistro in San Francisco for a special Halloween show.
Hailing from Dublin, Ireland, pianist/ organist and vocalist Eamonn Flynn first came to prominence playing Hammond organ and piano on the 14 million-selling soundtrack of The Commitments, a film about a Dublin soul band. After moving to San Francisco in 1997 he went on to record and tour with Michael Franti & Spearhead, Evelyn ‘Champagne’ King, Pink, Elvin Bishop, Pee Wee Ellis, Chris Cain, Anthony Paule Soul Orchestra, Curtis Salgado, Maria Muldaur, and a decade-long stint with Meters drummer Zigaboo Modeliste. When he’s not touring he can be found playing Gospel organ and piano at San Francisco’s legendary Glide Memorial Church. He’s released three albums of original songs: ‘The Irish Channel’, ‘Black Coddle’ and ‘Anywhere But Home’ and two solo piano albums: ‘King Of The Cats’ and ‘Meeting Of The Waters’.
It was during his time with Zigaboo Modeliste that Flynn started playing with bassist Darryl Anders (Tower of Power/Booker T etc…) and they've worked together on multiple projects since. For this special one-off show Eamonn and Darryl will be joined by two pillars of Bay Area funk and soul – guitarist Jeff Tamelier (Tower of Power, Average White Band) and drummer Kevin Hayes (Robert Cray, BB King)… for a set of funky New Orleans infused music with Irish flavours! The show will draw from the music of The Meters, Dr. John, Allen Toussaint, Professor Longhair and James Booker as well as Eamonn’s funky originals. Costumes are encouraged!
