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

I know that many artists from North America don't have their music videos uploaded to German video websites. The most popular websites are MyVideo.de and ClipFish.de. That means your European audience does not have the chance to find them.

I understand that most of you don't speak German and are not able to upload videos because of the language barrier. If you would like me to upload your videos to the German video websites, please let me know.

Thanks
