The English Beat is a band with an energetic mix of musical styles and a sound like no other. The band's unique sound has allowed it to endure for nearly four decades and appeal to fans, young and old, all over the world.
Formed in 2014, Soul Ska is a Bay Area collective with a
fresh take on the classic ska/rocksteady idiom. The 10 piece band is
comprised of veteran members of Bay Area bands such as Vinyl,
Stymie & the Pimp Jones Love Orchestra, The Right Time, Albino!, El
Radio Fantastique, Jethro Jeremiah Band and more. Drawing equally
from the original Jamaican first wave as well as the British second
wave the band’s rootsy, upbeat sound leans heavily on vocal harmony
and a three-piece horn section. Soul Ska has become a Northern
California festival favorite, playing rousing sets at Sierra Nevada
World Music Festival (Mendocino), Ocean Beach Fest (SF), Summer
Arts & Music (Humboldt), Fairfax Festival and more.
