-
Soul Ska stands alone atop the Bay Area
Ska/Rocksteady scene. Formed in 2014 by members of
veteran Bay Area bands such as Vinyl, Monophonics,
Albino!, Stymie & the Pimp Jones Love Orchestra and
more - the high-energy, diverse 10-piece group combines
elements of the Jamaican 1st wave and UK 2nd wave into
their own unique sound.
Having built a loyal Bay Area fan base over the last
5 years - Soul Ska now plays to capacity crowds all over
the Bay and NorCal. Their 2018 debut album
"Propaganda" (prod. David Simon Baker) was released to
rave reviews. The 2019 single "Lover's Melody" (eng. Kelly
Finnegan) featured Jamaican music legend and
"Godfather of Ska" Ernest Ranglin on guitar. Vocalist
Angelo Moore (Fishbone) has become a frequent guest at
Soul Ska shows – also collaborating on the single “Mash
‘Em Smash ‘Em” to be released in the Spring of 2020.
Soul Ska has supported bands such as The English
Beat, Don Carlos, Yellowman, Black Uhuru, Fishbone,
Third World, Israel Vibes, Capleton and more. The band
has also been a featured act at Sierra Nevada World
Music Festival, Humboldt's Summer Music & Arts Fest,
Ocean Beach Fest and will join NYC ska legends The
Slackers for a West Coast tour this Dec 5-8 with dates in
San Diego (Music Box) , LA (Regent Theater), Berkeley
(UC Theatre) and in Santa Cruz (Catalyst).
