Rock, Funk
Description:
Take two scoops of Funk; throw in a heathly serving of Reggae; stir in a few large cups of deep Piedmont Blues; throw in a pinch of Latin Flavor for spice, and top it off with some Old School R&B. Shake it up and you've got the music of Sol. A venerable pan stew of groove.
Sol leads a collaboration of musicians from southeast and mid-atlantic US. Sol and his band members are no strangers to the road. Sol has covered much of the surface of the earth on tour, lighting up venues across North America, Europe, Australia and the Caribbean. Sol has shared the stage with blues heavyweights such as Taj Mahal, BB King, Cootie Starks, Cool John Ferguson, John Dee Holeman, Robert Randolph, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Derek Trucks and others.
Paying homage to the greats, Sol and his band seeks to bring Roots Music to a new generation of listeners.
Band Members:
The CD release, Freedom, features the core musical unit of Sol on guitar and vocals, King George on drums, and Jake D on bass. Also guest appearances by Tim Smith (Squirrel Nut Zippers, Hobex, Countdown Quartet), as well as members of VA's reggae groups the Seed and the Alliens. With these special guests, the new album moves from greasy delta grooves to deep reggae, and from stanky funk to soulful R&B.
