Veteran Tower of Power baritone saxophonist, Stephen 'Doc' Kupka, has assembled an outstanding group of performers, dubbed The Strokeland Superband and he created an independent record label to go with it.
The purpose is simple: Doc is a prolific songwriter and Strokeland gives him additional opportunities to work with musicians, vocalists and arrangers that he enjoys working with.
The big winners are fans of the sound of classic soul music music and big horn sections. This site showcases releases from Strokeland Records, as well as the music of an extended family of performers that also cherish the feeling that only soul music can provide.
