About
The Next Generation of Soul delivers the Good News of Jesus Christ’s love and sacrifice in big and bold fashion. Surrounded by the electricity of dynamic horns and a tight rhythm section, Ricky Collins’ rich lead vocals soar. “Music to Lift You Up” best describes the ensemble’s mantra as they celebrate our Lord and Savior with their unique inspirational sound. A taste of the Islands...a bit of R&B...a helping of Big Band Swing...and "knock you over" straight ahead Blues...all on the same evening. And it's always all about Jesus Christ. The journey began back in 1997 as an R&B cover band playing night club venues on the Jersey Shore. Ultimately the “winds of faith” blew in and provided inspiration to begin writing and recording original Christian material culminating in the release of their first full length album, This Ain’t No Big Bang, in late 2011.

About My Guest:
After a decade of playing trumpet in various bands along the Jersey Shore, Bob founded The Next Generation of Soul in 1997. The Next Generation of Soul performed in nightclubs, saloons, and did many weddings and corporate parties up and down the Mid-Atlantic coast. All secular music at that time, cover only, no originals - rooted in classic R&B, but included other genres including swing, jazz, blues etc.
Around 2007, his Christian faith compelled him to start composing original material, culminating in the release of their first album, "This Ain't No Big Bang" in 2011. From there, his band began performing publicly on a limited basis doing only their original faith based material, leaving the secular music behind. A couple of years after that he wrote a new single, "I'm a Changed Man", and they went back in the studio and recorded it. Instead of releasing it as an audio single, the Holy Spirit compelled him to produce a video of the single. Bob then created a concept for the video, and wrote a script with some wonderful input from a couple of close friends. It took over a year of scouting out locations for the video as he was searching for a specific look and feel. He then hired a professional video production company to film it; Cinecall Productions in Red Bank, NJ, headed by George McMorrow (who directed the video). Bob considers it as another wonderful opportunity to spread the Good News! So far the video has over 20,000 YouTube views since its release in late November!

Bob Marsiglia is the bandleader and songwriter for The Next Generation of Soul, which fluently and convincingly delivers R&B, big band swing, and straight ahead blues. Ricky Collins’s rich vocals sit eloquently on top of the band’s dynamic horns and tight rhythm section. I talked to Bob about his band, their album, This Ain’t No Big Bang, and a lot more.
