Event Details
The Soul of Marvin is a cinematic soul experience that brings Marvin Gaye's catalog roaring back to life through the voice and artistry of Brian Owens. On Saturday, September 5, Owens — whose voice critics have placed firmly in Marvin's lineage — returns to the Westhampton Beach Performing Arts Center with a full live band. The night travels from early Motown sweetness through the social conscience of "What's Going On," the Marvin & Tammi duets with Emily Lucas of That Motown Band, the slow burn of "Let's Get It On," and the joyful release of "Got to Give It Up."
