Life In Wake Forest NC.....

So, exactly what do you get when you cross two of the areas premiere bands?  Soul Kitchen and The Bull City Horns become BULL CITY SYNDICATE!

No other band from the Carolinas dares attempt the intricate fusion of rhythm-section funk/rock, 4-horn firepower, and soaring vocals this band throws down each time they play live.  Featuring the Bull City Horns on their front line, Bull City Syndicate has been building a loyal and ever-growing following for over fourteen years - featured at regional music festivals, colleges, private and corporate parties, as well as many national charity events.

 
Already one of the most in-demand bands in the Mid-Atlantic region, and having crowds at their public appearances filled with musicians from other bands, they've recently stepped up their game with the full-length release of "You Make Me Feel" - an album of songs featuring only songwriters with a significant connection to North Carolina.
 
"You Make Me Feel" is a genuinely compelling funk/rock/horn-band experience.  Retro, while not blatantly so, the record often reminds us of what the current pop hit-factories most often fail to deliver - namely, great melodies, real vocalists, and an in-your-face horn section.  While it's easy to point out the influences, (both subtle and overt), of Marvin Gaye, Curtis Mayfield, Sly, James Brown, The Temptations, and the like, the originality of the horn arrangements help sidestep any presupposed comparisons to the most famous of horn bands - i.e. Earth, Wind & Fire, Tower of Power, or Chicago.
 
Bull City Syndicateis their own band, proudly named after the city of their birth, Durham, North Carolina.  Because they've successfully broken ranks with the local pack of cliché cover bands, The Bull City must now share this band with the rest of the world.
