Carlos Morgan Brings Soul to Life in a Powerful Four-Part Soul Vocals Concert Series

Toronto’s music scene is about to be graced with a rare and soulful experience as Solroc Music, in partnership with Caliban Arts Theatre and Contxt By Trane, brings the “Soul Vocals Concert Series” to life. This four-part concert series is a celebration of the timeless music of some of the most revered R&B and Soul artists in history—Donny Hathaway, Roberta Flack, Luther Vandross, D’Angelo, Bill Withers, Sam Cooke, Teddy Pendergrass, and Barry White. At the heart of it all is Carlos Morgan, a multi-award-winning vocalist whose voice and passion embody the essence of the music he brings to the stage.

Morgan, backed by a stellar live band under the musical direction of Omar Martin, doesn’t just perform these classic songs—he revives them.

Each performance is an homage to the legends whose voices shaped generations and whose music remains as relevant and emotionally powerful today as it was decades ago.

From the raw vulnerability of Donny Hathaway to the sensual charisma of Barry White, Morgan’s interpretations are grounded in authenticity, love for the genre, and a commitment to honoring the artists who paved the way.

Set within the intimate and acoustically rich 918 Bathurst Centre for Arts, Media & Culture, the concert series promises to be more than just entertainment—it’s a living history of soul music delivered by an internationally acclaimed artist who deserves to be seen and celebrated.

The carefully curated dates highlight the uniqueness of each show: October 3rd brought the beautiful duets and solo works of Donny Hathaway and Roberta Flack;

November 7th is dedicated to the velvet-smooth sounds of Luther Vandross.

December 6th features the artistry of D’Angelo, Bill Withers, and Sam Cooke; and December 20th rounds it all out with the unmistakable voices of Teddy Pendergrass and Barry White.

Each night is a tribute and a celebration rolled into one. But beyond the music lies a greater purpose. Supporting this concert series means supporting independent music in Canada. It means recognizing and investing in the talent that lives and breathes in our own communities. In an age where mainstream platforms often overshadow emerging and independent artists, attending these shows is a powerful act of solidarity. It’s a reminder that live music thrives when we show up, and when we choose to put our money and energy behind the artists who are doing the work, honoring the legacy, and shaping the future.
