[SOUL STEW] Portland quintets Just People and Excellent Gentlemen seem a strange marriage, with the former specializing in folksy pop rock and the latter specializing in baby-makin’ funk and soul compositions. But there is a common thread: Both groups feature soulful vocals. Whether it’s People’s Scott Gilmore crooning mellow Dylan/Cat Stevens-esque melodies (“Youth is not your age, it’s how much you believe”) and forceful social awareness amid crunching guitars or the multiple Gentlemen vocalists urging their audience to get down (or go down) on the dance floor, passion is each group’s forte.
