Overview

Soul Patrol delivers an authentic, blues-rooted soundtrack built almost entirely on expressive, guitar-driven instrumentals. Backed by more than 20 years of professional playing experience, we blend classic electric blues influences with soulful 60s and 70s instrumental classics like "Pick Up the Pieces" and "Soul Serenade," creating a raw, musician-forward atmosphere tailored for cigar lounges, outdoor patios, neighborhood taverns, and private cocktail parties. Because our repertoire focuses almost exclusively on melodic blues instrumentals, the guitar takes center stage. We keep the audience connected by focusing on familiar melodies, weaving in just a select few vocal classics!

Highly recommend

We are so glad we had Soul Patrol at our baby shower. Joe and the band were so nice. They started out with jazz music during our cocktail hour and spiced it up accordingly as the night went on with classic r&b/soul and rock songs. Everyone at the party loved them! Joe even made some songs special using our names and our baby name! They even let my sister use the stage at one point to announce game prize winners, which was really cool and nice of them. The band was better than we could have hoped for and really kept the vibe going during the night! Our baby shower was absolutely perfect, with the band setting an amazing atmosphere. We will definitely be using them for future events, and highly recommend Soul Patrol to anyone looking for a live band!

Exceeded expectations

What a great event with John, Joe, John and Dill. Hard to know what to expect from some YouTube videos and email exchanges, and these guys were smokin'. On time, professional, courteous, and can PLAY! We had a small outdoor event and every attendee asked me where I found the band. Looking forward to future events with the Soul Patrol.

Fantastic!!!!

Just perfect! Soul Patrol took my husband's 40th Birthday celebration to the next level. The band was professional, personable and fun. They started the evening with quieter jazzy tones, just right for cocktails. As the night went on they began playing more upbeat music and we were all dancing and having a blast! I'm so happy I found them. I recommend them to anyone looking to create a fun and sophisticated party....live music made our party so special and so memorable.

Book them!

They did an awesome job for my cousins 30th. My cousin keeps raving about the live band and bartender we booked for her back yard surprise 30th birthday party. They came early to ensure set up time and began promptly at the agreed upon start time. They were very professional although we let them let loose as well. They let us hop on their equipment while we were drinking a bit ( thank you guys for that!) We almost did not hire a band because we were unsure of what to expect with bands found in this site that we never seen live but we decided to just go for it and we are so happy we did. It was truly the cherry on top for the entertainment of the night. They took any requests we had and although some may have been outside of their comfort zone- they gave it their best shot and it paid off well. Would 100% book again should we need a band for another event. Them and the bartender truly had everyone up and dancing. Joe also was 100% and very responsive as soon as we booked. Great communication all around and fun guys.

About

Soul Patrol delivers an authentic, blues-rooted soundtrack built almost entirely on expressive, guitar-driven instrumentals. Backed by more than 20 years of professional playing experience, we blend classic electric blues influences with soulful 60s and 70s instrumental classics like "Pick Up the Pieces" and "Soul Serenade," creating a raw, musician-forward atmosphere tailored for cigar lounges, outdoor patios, neighborhood taverns, and private cocktail parties.
Because our repertoire focuses almost exclusively on melodic blues instrumentals, the guitar takes center stage. We keep the audience connected by focusing on deep grooves and familiar melodies, occasionally weaving in just a select few mellow vocal classics like "My Girl" or "Easy Like Sunday Morning" depending on what the room needs.
This is an experienced, fully self-contained trio that brings high-level musicianship and a professional setup to every stage, from local clubs to outdoor festival lineups. You can expect responsive booking, punctual arrival, and dependable communication from start to finish.
