About Soulscape
The band Soulscape forges new ground for the ears of the masses. With their cunning choruses, soulful melodies, rich harmonies, and screaming guitar solos, the band breaks the barriers of popular music, establishing an ever-growing foothold in the musical culture. The sheer spread of the band's influences is remarkable, ranging from the smooth elegance of traditional classical composers to the raw power of contemporary rock bands like Alter Bridge and Tantric. The band's songs showcase the talent of vocalist Dan Hoag. His rich, melodic voice soars with the playing of lead guitarist Nick Eveslage, whose guitar flawlessly transitions from the delicate semblance of the acoustic guitar to the fierce cutting power of his electric riffs. Second guitarist Anthony Mehr skillfully compliments Eveslage, adding a harmonic detail and dynamic intensity to the band. Bassist Dave Ostendorf brings a roaring depth to the songs, while percussionist Ben Bublitz keeps all together with a seemingly effortless flurry of thundering drums. Together, they create the ensemble that is Soulscape.
The future of Soulscape is promising; already in their short existence, they have graced the Fine Line Music Cafe on First Avenue in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Twice, they played the venue, headlining one event. Another venue that Soulscape was fortunate enough to play was the amazing Star Central in Columbia Heights, Minnesota. They have performed on the very stage that such bands as Sevendust, Powerman 5000, and Adema have visited, and have had requests from local radio stations desiring to air their music. With the ever-building force of Soulscape, there is no denying their future is as accomplished as the members themselves.
The band's birth in 2005 was a humble one, set in a small basement studio. Having just dismantled their previous band, Eveslage and Ostendorf welcomed Bublitz into the new group. After a short search, the trio discovered Hoag, and from this grew Soulscape. As their sound grew, so did their need for another band member. It wasn't long before Soulscape found their fifth and final member, Mehr, and with this Soulscape was completed.
