Tortured Soul

  • City Winery DC - Main Stage 1350 Okie Street Northeast Washington, DC, 20002 United States (map)

Tortured Soul is 100% live modern, deep, soulful, house music freed from the DJ Booth. Influenced by the classic songcraft of Prince, Heatwave, and Kool & The Gang, Tortured Soul is a collective of incredible international musicians united under a groove-centered rhythm.

Frontman and songwriter, John-Christian Urich, leads the group while simultaneously drumming and singing with effortless mastery. Likened to "The Roots of House Music", Tortured Soul’s sound is reminiscent of Neo-Soul groups like Jamiroquai or Brand New Heavies, while also being influenced by the contemporary freshness of House purveyors like Dave Lee and Louie Vega, and Nu Disco artists like Soul Clap and Purple Disco Machine.

With their latest release, “Your Body Doesn’t Lie”, Tortured Soul ponders the search for happiness and the sometimes-messy journey to finding it. The single offers listeners two amazing remixes from South African DJ/producer Fka Mash, and British DJ/producer Atjazz.
