Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings Return to New Yorks Historic Apollo Theater on Friday, April 30th!

I Learned the Hard Way Set To Drop on April 6th, 2010


Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings will return to the legendary Apollo Theater in Harlem, USA on Friday, April 30th to celebrate the release of their upcoming album "I Learned the Hard Way."

Tickets on sale now! 

As with their memorable performance at the Apollo Theater two years ago, this will be a very special show where Sharon and the band will be joined by the full ensemble of percussion, strings and backing vocalists as well as other special guests who recorded on the bands upcoming album.

If you havent heard by now, this past Saturday Sharon Jones joined Grammy Award winning Canadian singer Michael Bublé on Saturday Night Live for a show stopping performance of their duet Baby (Youve Got What It Takes) from Bublés latest album Crazy Love.

On April 6th, 2010 Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings will release I Learned the Hard Way, their fourth full-length on Brooklyns independent Daptone Records. The record marks a bold step forward for a band who almost singlehandedly stewarded todays return of soul music to its more traditional sound.

From the lush Philly-Soul fanfare that ushers in The Game Gets Old at the top of the record, to the stripped down Sam Cooke-style Mama Dont Like My Man at the tail, the Dap-Kings dance seamlessly through both the most crafted and simple arrangements with subtlety and discipline.  I Learned the Hard Way is the Daptone Sound at its finest.
