Our Texas variety band takes you back to a magical time in the 1960’s where soul music took the airwaves by storm. Motown records was born in 1959 in the booming city of Detroit, Michigan better known as the Motor City. This iconic label housed influential acts such as The Temptations, Jackson 5, Stevie Wonder, Diana Ross, Gladys Knight and the list truly goes on and on. These artists would move the world with songs so memorable you can’t help but sing-along.
