Join York Street Hustle for their 9th Annual Holiday Spectacular at World Cafe Live! Stomp your feet, shake your hips and catch the spirit of the season with a special mix of Southern Soul and Motown Holiday Classics, 1960's soul hits and B-sides by the likes of Otis Redding, Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder, Darlene Love, The Temptations, Donny Hathaway, The Jackson 5, and many more! Our Holiday Spectacular is an ALL AGES show for kids from one to ninety-two, and seated tickets (including ADA seating) will be available!

Each week, ten musicians arrive at a former South Philadelphia funeral home where, one by one, they unload their old tube amps and vintage gear. Once inside, the classic sounds of the 1960s are reinvigorated, re-energized and reborn. Legends, like Stevie, Aretha and the Four Tops; lesser-known artists including Donny Hathaway, Arthur Conley and Betty Everett – all are given new life. In a few short years York Street Hustle has gone from filling tiny South Street bars to repeated sell outs of World Cafe Live. Their repertoire now spans over 80 songs including more than a decade worth of Detroit, Memphis, and Chicago soul. This is not your typical Motown wedding band. With grit, sweat, and attention to detail, York Street Hustle is the Northeast’s premier 10-piece 1960s soul tribute.

York Street Hustle's first-ever physical release, Cruelty EP, is a combination of original material coupled with a lost soul rarity, and represents both a significant change and a return to form. The group remains rooted in the traditions of classic soul, funk, and breaks, identifiable to fans of soul revival outfits like Daptone, Big Crown and Colemine Records.
