About Antique Naked Soul:
Oakland Indie Award and Oaktown Music Festival nominee Antique Naked Soul is an Oakland based independent beat-boxing soul band. Renown beat-boxer Tommy “Soulati” Shepherd, lead singer Candice “Antique” Wicks and two background singers, Jayme Brown and N’gala McCoy make up this quartet. Antique Naked Soul (ANS) builds beats live on stage using only their voices and two loopers. The singing recalls the soul of Chaka Khan and the jazz of Billie Holiday. When they step out on the stage they take you on a journey through time. They may even throw in a doo-wop song reminiscent of street corner a cappella. ANS has shared the stage with Yasiin Bey fka. Mos Def, Pete Escovedo, John Santos, ?uestlove, Les Nubians, Lady, Talib Kweli and Blackalicious to name a few. They have also performed in well known venues such as Cafe Du Nord, The Regency Ballroom, The New Parish, Slim’s, 1015 Folsom, Herbst Theatre and several outdoor festivals. ANS released their debut self-titled album in October of 2013 which has received great reviews. It has been featured on several blogs including Oakland Local, Oakland North, Oaktown Indie Mayhem, Kurofune Crew (Japan), SF Gate, 3200 Stories, Fusicology and the Z-List.
