"A 9 piece Motown and Soul review from Brisbane, Qld bringing wonderful memories back with Motown, Stax and those soul classics. They looked really good on the videos we saw, and decided would be a good addition for our finale at the Agnes Blues, Roots & Rock Festival for 2018. Got to say very impressive, well presented, well put together & some great sounds. The 4 female singers – ‘The Track Sisters’ had absolutely no trouble with the notes, and held them nicely and the harmonies were right on. All the members of the review had a cool, polished, schmick look also (dressed for the occasion), could see that they had gone to a lot of trouble to look the part and of course presentation is everything. The 5 musicians in the band – ‘The Track Brothers’ were very accomplished and complemented the whole production. Had a great repertoire of songs for their 90 minute set. Highly recommend seeing these gals & guys in action. We had plenty of people tapping dem’ feet and dancing away. Thoroughly enjoyable and well worth catching to recall those great tunes done in that ‘classic’ style. Tell them what your favourite Motown song is….because they will be coming your way."
