Live Music - Soula with support Brodie Graham

A series of coincidences and happy accidents caused Sunshine Coast based funk, blues and rock band, Soula, to form in late 2011. The five members, having been involved with each other in various musical formats as well as being school friends, found themselves thrown together to perform on less than a week’s notice at a small community music festival. From this very modest beginning, they quickly developed a seamless mix of edgy riffs and melodic funk/rock. Their attention to detail and emphasis on bringing back the lost art of real music has turned them into one of the best live music groups on the Sunshine Coast. The sultry vocals of Teila Packman provide the jewel in the crown for the group’s soulful performances. Bolstered by crisp guitars, catchy beats and the irreplaceable sounds of sexy saxophone, Soula brings back the art of melt-in-your-mouth, genuine music, whether it be faultlessly performed covers of artists such as The John Butler Trio and Stevie Wonder, or their own swinging original works. No matter the venue, Soula are poised to get everyone dancing to their electrifyingly cool, ear-loving brand of funk/rock audio candy. Support Brodie Graham is one of the hottest emerging talents in the Australian Blues scene. The rich history of the blues is reflected yet modernised in his live performances with toe-tapping swings, infectious shuffles, clever funk, awe-inspriring jazz and heart wrenching soul tunes all illustrated with Brodie's unbelievable feel for the guitar.
