"A soulful blend of rock and blues with a natural stage presence." - Jambase "Sol plays with deep deep soul... positively magnetic vibe... and immense mastery of his art." - DC Music Review "Sol and the band provide an upbeat cocktail of equal parts blues, New Orleans funk, rock, and soul.... real and raw as they come... tight musicianship and lyrics that tug at the soul strings." - The Jamwich "Sol Roots has a wealth of original music in rootsy styles and a killer approach to guitar playing. No wonder, since he spent years working with Music Maker Foundation backing up the likes of Guitar Gabriel, Beverly Guitar Watkins, Albert White, Cool John Ferguson, Robert Lee Coleman, Captain Luke, and many more." - Roanoke Times |
