Soul Therapy (see Influences for artists we aspire to pay tribute to with our music)
Soul Therapy is a New England based Funk, Fusion, Rock, R&B flavored music group. In 1999 Soul Therapy began with the release of their debut album "SOUL THERAPY". That year they were a featured group at The National Music Foundation regional musicians showcase and were well received by fans and industry professionals as well as included in a live cable broadcast of the event. Summer of 2000 brought increased regional exposure for the band when 98.1 WKZE featured their single Firefly and they headlined the first annual Windham Autumn Blues Festival. 2001-2002 brought the release of their second album "Disconnected" and more regional touring for Soul Therapy as well as regular airplay on 98.1 WKZE and WQQQ 103.3 FM. Since then they have played in the Tri-State area performing concerts, club dates, private events and charity fund raisers. They are currently in the studio working on several projects and performing throughout New England.
