The Old Souls

About Me

THE OLD SOULS were created when DJ Hughes and Brad Carney sat down and talked at length about their interests in music and what it meant to them at the time. DJ hadn't played in a band since his punk rock days, but he hadn't stopped writing. Brad had thought about creating new music at the time and this just seemed to fit. Thanks to Robin Roberts and David Kasper who round out the band. We'll see you at the show.

"...Philadelphia's Old Souls played some jangly, stomping rock tunes. But more than any of their songs, it was frontman Brad Carney's deep, bluesy yowl that was the most memorable thing about the band, if for no other reason than that we don't hear many singers these days who remind us of Glenn Danzig." - Al Shipley, Baltimore City Paper
