In 1999 Soulive erupted onto the Soul jazz / funk scene and influenced a new generation of bands with their explosive original sound that fused organ trio groove jazz with a hip hop feel (note: or ‘beats’). Their debut rreleasae ‘Get Down’ became a modern day classic and it kickstarted an acclaimed career of touring and recording that has lasted 20+ years. In that time Soulive (Alan Evans, Neal Evans, Eric Krasno) have toured the world selling out headline shows, opening for the likes of The Rolling Stones and collaborating with artists such as Chaka Khan and The Dave Matthews band. Fifteen albums later they are still going strong !
