About Me

Soulacious formed in November of 2006 by a group of strangers brought together by their collective goal to preserve a blend of vintage soul, funk and R&B to a modern sound.
Singer/Songwriter and Producer Jarrod Anderson is a Twin Cities native whose musical credits include work in TV, radio jingles, theater, a solo CD "Every Part of Me" and the multi-artist recorded project "Uniting For You." "The best part of being a part of Soulacious is that fact that it has allowed me to grow musically as we've taken several genres of music and blended them to make our own funky sound!" The person he'd most like to meet? Quincy Jones.
Singer Kandii Matthews has been performing around the Twin Cities for over the last 17 yrs w/a variety of bands. She is best known for her involvement with "One World" a band made up of reggae, ska, r & b, & funk and a gospel group "Back 2 You" that included such local greats as Gwen Matthews, Debbie Duncan, and Dennis Spears.
Guitarist/Arranger Ezra Sauter grew up in the Minneapolis metro area and has been a musician for over 10 years. He has played bass, drums and electric guitar in various rock, funk and jazz bands in a professional capacity for the last 5 years. "Soulacious works because the name says it all: funky, simple, and damn, I can't help but shake that ass!" The most played album on his iPod: Jamiroquai's "Synkronized."
Drummer Ryan "Scribs" Scribner has been playing drums for 8 years. Throughout his musical endeavors, he has opened for Mark Farner (lead singer/guitarist for Grand Funk Railroad), toured out West and his last band debuted a song on MTV's Real World Denver. Albums he's spinning right now include all West Coast G-Funk, Jamie Lidell's "Multiply" and Phoenix's "Alphabetical."
Dan Knoflicek has played bass for 11 years in various ensembles. He graduated from McNally Smith Music School in '03 and continues to use his groove powers for good, not evil. His musical influences are in a wide variety of genres like funk, jazz, progressive rock, fusion, latin, 20th century avante garde, and many more.
