About Me

Since the band's early preformation jam sessions all the way back in '99 Solace has steadily been rising in popularity. The original lineup of JD, Tyler, and John first showcased their original sound on their self-titled CD, making a ripple in an ocean of unoriginal pop music. Once the band had obtained local popularity they went on to perform at several local venues, showcasing the band's highly energetic live performances and skills. With ever-increasing experience, Solace has gone on to play shows from Green Bay to Milwaukee, making new fans along the way. Heartfelt lyrics, catchy melodies, and well arranged accompaniments are just some of the things that make Solace's music great.
2006 and 2007 turned out to be monumental years for the band as they completed their highly anticipated second album, Moment of Truth: an album so amazing, it just might make other music completely obsolete.2008 is already looking bright for the band, as they are lining up new gigs, new material, and a stronger fanbase than ever before!
