“Our Kind of Soul is one of my favorite recordings that I have made,” says Hall. “It’s the real essence of what I’m about musically. Through these songs, the listener can hear the core of what I am as a soul singer. It’s my real deal!”

“After a career of making our own hits, here’s a cool collection of classic music that has been influential and inspiring to our original music,” says Oates.

Daryl Hall & John Oates are gearing up for an epic 32-date North American tour this summer with Squeeze and KT Tunstall supporting. This Live Nation-produced tour kicks off this May at Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, CA and extends into September. The duo will preview the tour with select dates, including a February 28th performance at NYC’s Madison Square Garden which sold out months in advance. They will also host their annual HoagieNation Festival this May in their hometown of Philadelphia. Full touring route can be found below.
