For 25 years, Soul Proprietor has inspired local music lovers of all ages to get up and shake their booties. The band’s music, a superb mix of funk, soul, R&B, Motown, blues and classic rock, is magnetic in its ability to keep fans guessing, and covers range from Michael Jackson and Genesis to Elton John and Bruno Mars. The musicians, including a four-piece horn section and Patrice Thompson-Rose’s powerhouse vocals, make this local cover band stand out. The band is a mainstay at big events like Pig Out in the Park and Art on the Green in Idaho, and often slays the Big Dipper, but this April Fools’ Day (no joke), they take their talents to the Palomino. Expect three hard-hitting, funk-filled sets.
