SOUL CAPTIVES

June 16th ELBO ROOM!

About Me

Drawing upon diverse experiences in 1960's era ska, roots reggae, dub, rocksteady, funk, soul, and jazz, The Soul Captives fuse together a unique musical style that they simply call "the captivating sound". Varying from blazing horn-driven Skatalites style instrumentals to smoking vocal tunes with full three-part harmonies reminiscent of Bob Marley and the Wailers, they have yet to play for a crowd that could stay in their seats.
