    Free At Noon

    Curtis Harding and his band took the stage at the Music Hall at World Cafe Live for WXPN’s Free at Noon concert series.

    Harding’s music blends classic soul with elements of rock, gospel, and psychedelia. Known for albums like Face Your Fear and If Words Were Flowers, he’s built a reputation as one of the most interesting voices in modern soul.

    Today’s Free at Noon concert was a rare chance to see Harding stateside; his next album Departures & Arrivals: Adventures of Captain Curt comes out September 5th, and his first leg of tour in support of it happens in Europe this October and November. Find his full schedule of tour dates here and see more photos from Free At Noon below.
