Soul Understated

Drawn from all experiences, adult and childhood, Jeremy ‘BEAN’ Clemons and Mavis ‘SWAN’ Poole have created Soul Understated. Soul Understated can be described as more of a musical “mother ship” than a band. The influences on their music are overwhelming and pleasurable all at once. Grabbing elements from all styles of music and bridging them under one roof is not an easy task but they seem to have a strong grip on it. It is believed this is the true concept of Soul music: things internal generated to produce external beauty.
“The passion and drive of our music comes from a sincere longing to encourage and inspire people from all lifestyles, while maintaining the danceable element and groove. “
Somewhat of a dream band, Soul Understated features a diverse and eclectic mix of musical forces. These forces combined create a powerhouse band as well as a unique concept of music allowing each angle of the band to be independent yet part of a total musical thought. Having similar musical backgrounds and deriving elements from gospel, R&B, and popular music, Clemons and Poole’s compositions clearly state where they’ve been while simultaneous suggesting what may lay ahead. Their energy as composers, bandleaders, and performers will only make you want to know and grow with them in every way. Soul Understated is proven to be a true reflection of like-minded individuals who share common goals and desires in life and music.
Keep an ear to the ground as Clemons and Poole are set to release their debut recording as Soul Understated by the summer of 2008.
