About Soulajar

Soulajar is a funk-and-groove rock group from Bakersfield, California.

However, the music of Soulajar defies simple categorization. Its' players are humble young artists with diverse influences and a shared love of stretching musical boundaries. Their sound is a refreshing blend of innovative compositions; fusing elements of rootsy soul and tasty melodic pop rock to form an undeniably unique flavor of song craft.

Their live performances are stuffed with funky grooves, bone chilling soul, and exhilarating instrumental jamming. The band always leaves room for improvisation which keeps fans returning almost compulsively by knowing they will always hear something new and progressive. Lyrically, Soulajar spreads positive energy with an articulate and spiritually-driven voice that even the most dissimilar crowd can relate to.

Diversely, Soulajar's music bridges the gap between radio friendly pop rock and party-pleasing festival jam bands. So, whether it is an acoustic coffee shop setting, or an energetic live concert, Soulajar's intricate song writing and dynamic style caters to music lovers of many different preferences, ages, and walks of life.

Reviews / Awards:

*Winners of the 2007 Starbucks/Hearmusic SoCal Music Award


"With Soulajar, the listener finds lush, tasty progressions
that are more like sonic expeditions than the cookie-cutter offerings
from acts looking for a break."
-Erik Loyd, The Bakersfield Californian


Soulajar, is a sensation all its own. Taking soul, a little blues, and lots of heart to create some of the best original music since Motown. "
-Christoph Carter, The Bakersfield Interest Magazine


"Soulajar is a genre defying blend of pop rock, funk, jazz, blues... a melting pot of mouth watering musical soup."
-Danielle Belton, The Bakersfield Californian


"For a debut album from this Bakersfield native band it sure has the sound of a band that has been playing for years if not decades. They have introduced a new sound and flavor to the local Bakersfield music scene thats enjoyable for all ages. Each of the 5 tracks have their own great style, sound and soul that you just can't help but love the whole thing from start to finish. Only thing I'm hoping for is that the band comes out with a full album soon cause
I'm itching for more music!"
-B. Hayslett, Amazon.com

Coucou!
Nous sommes un groupe humanitaire ayant besoin de soutien ! Un concert exceptionnel a lieu le JEUDI 21 JANVIER 2010 au ZEBRE DE BELLEVILLE à PARIS à 19h30 (places disponibles à la fnac), l’occasion de se rencontrer !
Nous avons besoin de soutien de 2 manières :
1-Envoie moi ton e mail en mp que je puisse t’envoyer le flyer pour que tu puisses le diffuser (SYMPA) ;
2-Viens au concert en prenant ta place à la fnac, découverte ! (TRES SYMPA).
JC de KITOSLEV

TOUS les bénéfices de notre nouvel album, en coup de cœur à la fnac, sont reversés à l’association TCHENDUKUA, chargée de racheter des terres aux indiens Kogis de Colombie !
Donc merci à tous ceux qui feront avancer ce projet !
En attendant, vous pouvez télécharger tout l'album au profit de l'association sur le seul vrai site de musique équitable www.fairtrade-music.com/kitoslev !

Greetings Soulajar, paying you a visit to invite you and your friends over for a visit and a pre-release listen to the songs Love And Money and Mammon from the new Telegraph album. You might also enjoy the video for Country Music, although for a few viewers, it might get you, as the song puts it “all riled up”. We’d also love to make some new myspace friends….

Today I would like to let you know about two print magazines in Germany I'm writing for.

"Living Line Dance", reporting about line dance and country music, and "Folk Magazine", reporting about folk and country music. The magazines are high respected in Europe. They offer you a good chance to publicize yourself in Europe and Germany.

For more information, please contact me at MySpace or send email to Ch.Lamitschka@t-online.de with the headline "Advertise at Living Line Dance and Folk Magazine".

Warm regards
