The Mighty Soul Drivers will play at the Fall Frolic this Saturday at Ski Sundown.
Bring the family! Tickets include live music, dinner, wine and beer and pumpkin decorating for the kids. Proceeds will go to NHLT's land conservation and stewardship activities.

 
The Mighty Soul Drivers take their inspiration from the giants of Southern Soul - O.V. Wright, Percy Sledge, Otis Redding and more and combine that with contemporary tunes written in the classic style. The Mighty Soul Drivers turn every venue they play into a Soul dance party!
