THE OLD SOULS were created when DJ Hughes and Brad Carney sat down and talked at length about thier interests in music and what it meant to them at the time. DJ hadn't played in a band since his punk rock days, but he hadn't stopped writing. Brad had thought about creating new music at the time and this just seemed to fit.
DJ brought some songs created with Brian Newell to the basement of 2005.
In a short amount of time we created a set and rocked out at the Khyber.
With some member changes and some albums under our belt, we go into he studio with a new sense of purpose every time. Robin Roberts has stepped in to play drums for founding memeber Brian Newell. Brian has gone on to play with Adam and Dave's Bloodline. Dave Kasper is keeping our rhythm. Brad and DJ are still making the music and finding what interests them.
Thanks to all our friends out there who keep coming to shows and supporting us. We'll see you soon.
