Second Thursday Music: Sol Roots
October 14, 2010 - 7:00pm

Take two scoops of funk, throw in a healthy serving of reggae, stir in a few large cups of deep Piedmont blues, throw in a pinch of latin flavor for spice, and top it off with some old school R&B. Shake it up and you've got the music of Sol Roots. Sol is a rare, one of a kind musician. His talent stretches from fiery rock to laid-back jazz, and from funky innovative grooves to soulful ballads, always drawing on a deep background in blues. He began his musical experiences gigging with blues luminaries such as Guitar Gabriel, Captain Luke, and Macavine Hayes. While earning a degree in the Recording Industry, Sol performed extensively throughout Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Mississippi fronting his own blues and rock bands. Paying homage to the greats, he seeks to bring roots music to a new generation of listeners.
