Influences
Though phylogeny is still unclear at this time, some have suggested evolutionary descent from groups such as The Allman Brothers, The Band, Carlos Santana, Stevie Wonder, and Bob Marley and the Wailers.
Sol Driven Train is a band in motion. Perpetually piling on and off the bus, the momentum of their hard work and heart-felt music propels the group upward. At shows, the band members bounce to the pulse of the music along with the crowd. Stylistically the band “seamlessly mixes Allmanesque Southern rock, languid world-beat, swampy funk and downright catchy melodies as they swap lead singers and instruments. A punchy horn section adds an extra dimension of sweaty soul to the genre-blurring jam party” (Atlanta Creative Loafing, 11/21/06). All that sweat is paying off for Sol Driven Train. With their honest songwriting and energetic live performances, they are attracting fans devoted to witnessing their musical progression.
Since the fall of 2005, the band has been touring the Southeast and beyond, averaging 150 shows per year at festivals, bars, music venues, theatres, summer camps, and children’s museums. They have shared stages and bills with a diverse array of artists including Micheal Franti, Richie Havens, Keller Williams, The Samples, Blueground Undergrass, Billy Jonas, Ryan Montbleau, and Arlo Guthrie. Covering an expanding tour area that stretches from Georgia to New Hampshire to Wisconsin, the band has independently recorded and produced three albums along the way. In late 2005, the band released a children’s album, “Tajar Tracks,” a product of the band’s stint working as counselors at a summer camp in the Blue Ridge Mountains. “Live on the Outer Banks” was recorded in one night at one of the bands favorite coastal tour destinations. Released in January of 2007, this live album “captures the band’s strongest elements: tight horn arrangements and complex, unforced vocal harmonies...crisp accents and tasty cymbal work tie in perfectly with precise bass licks.” (Charleston City Paper, 1/24/07) By the time the band released the live album, work was already under way on a new studio album. The band sandwiched recording sessions between gigs, and set up their mobile recording studio wherever they could along the way. The album, “Lighthouse” was released April 8, 2008, and is gathering praise from fans and critics alike.
