Sol Roots band performs a mix of New Orleans funk, raw blues, energetic rock, deep grooves, and southern soul. The band has shared the stage with groups such as Jon Cleary, Soulive, Dumpstaphunk, Booker T Jones, Eric Lindell, Shemekia Copeland and many more. Sol has toured with many musical legends around the world as part of Music Maker Revue. Sol Roots is an official Home Grown Music Network artist and a "Next Generation" Music Maker Relief Foundation artist.
The track “Forgiveness” features the Sol Roots band with special guest harmonica legend Phil Wiggins. Phil Wiggins is arguably America’s foremost blues harmonica virtuoso, is a two time WC Handy award winner, and recently was honored with a National Heritage Fellowship. Phil Wiggins originally wrote the song "Forgiveness" in the traditional piedmont blues style (Cephas & Wiggins), and Sol Roots created a new funk/ soul/ blues arrangement to reach out to a different audience within the music scene.
