Hoodoo Soul Band

Hoodoo Soul Band brings decades of funk and soul expertise to Rumba Cafe. This Columbus institution started as a side project back in 1995 and has been a fixture of the local music scene ever since, earning accolades like Best Cover Band and Best Live Performance from the Columbus Music Awards. The group specializes in reimagining R&B and funk classics—think Al Green and Earth, Wind and Fire—with their own creative flair, plus they'll introduce you to deeper cuts you might not know. The band features a full roster of local musicians on horns, strings, keys, and vocals, so you're getting serious musicianship paired with genuine fun. Expect an energetic, intimate show where the groove is real and the energy is contagious. Tickets start at $12, and doors open at 8 p.m. Note that this is a 21+ event, so it's geared toward adult audiences looking for a lively night out.
