The Black Soul Experience
Groove125 West 3rd Street, New York 10012
The Black Soul Experience comes to Groove for a late-night live set led by host, bandleader and Groove veteran musician Antwon Robinson. Robinson is backed by a band of New York musicians for a dance-focused program moving through R&B, funk, soul, soca, hip-hop, reggae and house. The listing frames it as a high-powered, intense show built to keep the room moving all night.
The available information identifies Antwon Robinson as the evening’s host and bandleader, and as a veteran musician at Groove. It does not provide further biographical details for The Black Soul Experience or Robinson: no hometown, regular lineup, recording history, collaborators, or published critical descriptions are given. What is clear is the format: a recurring Groove presentation centered on Robinson leading a live band through a broad set of Black musical styles, with the repertoire designed for dancing rather than a narrowly defined single-genre performance.
Groove offers a lively setting where music lovers gather to enjoy a range of live performances, often featuring multiple sets that stretch into the night.

A well-stocked bar serves as the hub for socializing before and after shows, while ticketing varies from free entry to modest cover charges, with advance purchase recommended for popular acts. The venue’s location in Manhattan places it within easy reach of the city’s vibrant nightlife, making it a natural stop for an evening out. Expect a night where the music pulses through the room, the crowd is engaged, and the energy builds as the night progresses, often with late-night jams or DJ sets extending the experience.
