Sol Roots band performs in Northern Virginia Dec 20. New Orleans funk, deep soul, energetic rock, heartfelt blues


“He’s toured the world with some of the biggest names in funk and blues...He’s the fiery guitarist known as Sol, and his influences span the country, and the globe”- On Tap Magazine.

The Sol Roots band performs Saturday December 20 in Old Town Manassas VA at the musical hub and upscale restaurant, Malone’s.


Sol Roots is a fierce guitarist and soulful singer who has toured the world with many roots, funk, and blues legends. Sol and his band create a unique blend of rock, blues, reggae, and raw funk, all delivered with deep soul, performing tasty original tunes and bluesy, greasy jams. Sol Roots has toured across the east coast U.S. at many premier festivals and venues and have been on bills with Dumpstaphunk, Soulive, Jon Cleary, The Wood Brothers, Robert Randolph, Jackie Greene, Booker T Jones, Shemekia Copeland, Eric Lindell, Walter “Wolfman” Washington and more.


Sol has performed on stage and in the studio with musical heavyweights Taj Mahal, Kenny Wayne Shepard, and with the international guitar hero Cool John Ferguson, who he performed with steadily for years. Sol has soaked in much from funk, blues, and soul heroes such as Roy Lee Johnson, Albert White, and Robert Lee Coleman, while touring and gigging with these artists. Sol also created a buzz with his underground blues hip hop album entitled “Volume: Blue,” that carried him overseas to perform these sets live.

The band, on Saturday Dec 20th, includes musicians that work with Tom Principato, Linwood Taylor, Special Occasions Band, Kiss and Ride, and more.


Paying homage to the greats, Sol seeks to push musical boundaries and bring Roots Music to a new generation of listeners.

Sol Roots is an official Home Grown Music Network artist. Sol is also a Music Maker Relief Foundation “Younger Generation” artist.
