The MPAC Trend Motors Drive-In Concert Series:
The Sensational Soul Cruisers
Back by popular demand! The Sensational Soul Cruisers pay homage to classic soul performers from Otis Redding and the Drifters to Barry White and the Commodores.
MPAC gratefully acknowledges Trend Motors for their generous support of the 2021 Drive In Series.
The Drive-In Series is presented in partnership with the Morris County Park Commission.
The Sensational Soul Cruisers are an 11 man horn group fronted by four soulful vocalists who pay homage and tribute to classic performers from Otis Redding and the Drifters to Barry White and the Commodores. With a lifetime of study and hard work, this group captures and emulates the distinctive style, skill and choreography of a classic show band. Former members of famous R & B and smooth soul groups, they now work together as individuals with their own sound and delivery and as a vocal harmony group that is beyond comparison.
If you remember a movie called “Eddie and the Cruisers,” you would be interested to know that the Soul Cruisers rhythm section was the band behind Eddie Testa, as Eddie and the Cruisers. That band and its name inspired the movie of the same name.
So many National Artists have been guests at Soul Cruisers shows, including Bruce Springsteen, Clarence Clemons, John Eddie, Southside Johnny, and so many more.
