Vinyl Soul: Four musicians with a passion for good music came together to form the band Vinyl Soul, covering songs from the 1960s psychedelic rock age, through the 1970s funk and boogie era. Dressed in retro mod clothing, their unique vibe is inviting. They are a fan favorite wherever they go. People say, “I remember these songs”, and they sing along.
Vinyl Soul is: Sean Geery on keyboards and vocals, Brandon Harris on guitar and vocals, Brian Wallace on Percussion and vocals, and Mike Mcdowell on bass and vocals.
