| Soca Jukebox has established itself as one of the Midwest's most sought-after groups with a Caribbean steel drum infusion into one fun, rockin' band. Each member of Soca Jukebox is a multi-instrumentalist with percussion, vocal and string backgrounds.
Taking their name from a popular Caribbean music style (soca is slang for "Soul Calypso"), the one-of-a-kind quintet performs traditional island music as well as more familiar contemporary hits. They give every song a unique Latin or Reggae twist, the very element that endears them to audiences.
This is not your "typical steel drum band": you'll find no cheesy background tracks, and no "wallpaper music." Their presentation is high-energy and truly entertaining...an instant party atmosphere is almost guaranteed. Jump up, feel the rhythm and say, "Yah, Mon" to this extraordinary ensemble. |
| Influences: |
Paul Simon, Bob Marley, The Police, Jimmy Buffett |
