“Freedom is a great example of this band’s music and a truly enjoyable listening experience”- Len Comaratta- WUVT Music Director

Hey all you Cool Peoples,

I’m just another human being whos been blessed to perform and share music with others for a few years now. I play guitar, bass, sing, write, and some piano and drums. - (do we play Music or does Music play us?). I’ve been a part of so many recording projects I can’t remember them all. You can hear some of the latest songs here.

I’ve traveled many places all over this wonderful world, performing at some of the largest festivals in the world to small parties in peoples backyards, at uplifting spiritual church services to wild crazy parties I can’t even remember. From the tops of campgrounds in clear country mountains, to the heart of da city and funky ghetto hole-in-the-walls.

I’ve had the opportunity to work with famous musicians I really respect, and other intensely talented cats that not too many people have ever heard of before. Fame is all relative- My grandmom said “BB King? I’ve heard of him before...” Talent doesn’t guarantee you success. But hard work, dedication, talent, can open many doors. It’s more important to be content in your own heart & treat others you meet along life’s highway with kindness and respect.

I’ve been in many bands, and led a quite a few. All these musicians are my family. If you’re someone I’ve jammed with- thanks for your talents! If you are a fan- thanks for helping keep music & culture alive! it's because of YOU good music keeps going!

I love the roots of blues, jazz, funk, rock, soul, r&b, hiphop, reggae, latin, bossa nova, folk, soukous, highlife, bachata and lots more & have been involved in a wide range of shows in most all the styles I’ve listed. One of my main strengths (and downsides) is that I love most every kind of music.

I’ve dug deep into blues and been heavily influenced by alot of blues pioneers I’ve hung with. check alot of them out at www.musicmaker.org. Most of these saints did their music simply for the love of it- the real reasons to make music: to connect people with one another and to spread love, ideas, and feelings through the music.

I’ve traveled and performed in the south, east coast, & mid US, all over Europe, Canada, Carribbean, Brazil, Costa Rica, Australia, and really believe all people are wonderful, and we are all one-

What ever your talent is in this life, there is a reason you have it- you are supposed to share it & leave this world better than the way you found it. Everyone has there own voice and style, and I respect where ever you are coming from, as long as it’s from your heart. Keep doing your own thing!

"Take two scoops of Funk; throw in a heathly serving of Reggae; stir in some 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 Sol & his band. A venerable pan stew of groove.

Sol leads a collaboration of musicians of the southeast and mid-atlantic regions of the US. Sol and his band are no strangers to the road.

The band members have collectively 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 music 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 & his Band seeks to bring Roots Music to a new generation of listeners.

Sol's album that mixes BLUES and HIPHOP beats- entitled VOLUME: BLUE, is available from WWW.MUSICMAKER.ORG the album features samples of Guitar Gabriel, Cootie Starks, Mudcat, Robert Wolfman Belfour, Essie Mae Brooks, Cool John Ferguson, and more.
