First let us introduce ourselves, we're Tn'T (Trish & Tom) think of us as your host, don't worry, we'll be keeping things down to earth, after all this is entertainment. You'll find out more about us a little later. Alternative soul, sometimes referred to as progressive, nouveau, afro, neo soul music, and just plain old soul, (depending on who you ask), is actually a mix of different but related music genres. Its soul, jazz, funk, reggae, hip-hop, rock, world beat, house beat all of these and even more combined. It's soul done in a new and innovative way. This is why we call it alternative soul music, it's sort of like New Orleans gumbo. When the artists create this music a little bit of everything is thrown in. This music comes in many shapes, form, and fashion. More often than not the message is one of love, social conscienceness, relationships, but not limited to these topics and always telling a story of the soul. It's vocally melodic, spiritual and filled with positivity. One of the things that attracts fans to alternative soul is the realness. There's that live element, the instrumentation, the vocals, the passion, and sincerity in which these bands and artists deliver this art. While there are artists in the mainstream performing this music, it's largely an independent scene, composed of mostly small independent companies, with the vast majority of the artists choosing to take matters into their own hands. Creating small indie record labels, production, promotion, and distribution companies. This music stretches from the U.S., Canada, to the U.K. throughout Europe, Asia, and Africa, I guess what we're trying to say is that it's worldwide. But still, alternative soul is grass roots, its underground soul music. An alternative to the hourly rotation you get on commercial radio.
The purpose of this site is to introduce you to this wonderful world of alternative soul music. You see there's lots of great music that needs to be heard and we are more than happy to feature some of these enormously gifted and talented independent artists, as well as some of the mainstream progressive artists. We'll give you different places online you can go listen to and find out more about the artists performing this music, other places you can go to download and make purchases, as well as information on technology for listening to music because as you know we are now in the age of digital, a new frontier, computers, mp3 players, audio-video streaming etc. Yes, it's music online and this is a great way for us to turn you on to some of our favorite artists performing in this fast growing genre.
