Artist
Sole Transit is the teen rock/jazz/funk experience of Ann Arbor, MI. Formed in May of 2009, Sole Transit released their debut self-titled album in the spring of 2011. Headed by the ripping trumpet licks of Leif Gearhart Hall, the wailing sax of Kyle Morrison, the roaring guitar from Jordan Siden, the grooving basslines from Dan Sagher and the thunder and lightning from drummer Erez Levin, Sole Transit is no ordinary rock five-piece. Incorporating elements of funk, blues, New Orleans brass bands and rock and roll, Sole Transit is an eclectic collage of musical styles. After playing at the Ann Arbor Power Center twice, performing live on WCBN radio station, opening for the popular Ann Arbor based band the MacPodz at the Blind Pig and playing steady gigs at the Neutral Zone B-Side for two years, Sole Transit is no newcomer to the block. Influences include: Bonerama, Dirty Dozen Brass Band, Led Zeppelin, Gregg Pattillo/Project, Little Feat, Stanton Moore, The Roots, Dr. John, Soulive, Toots and the Maytals, Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock, Nicholas Payton, Freddie Hubbard, Dizzy Gillespie, A Tribe Called Quest, The Sugar Hill Gang, The Roots, Flight Of The Conchords, Mohammed Jimmy Mohammed, The Toasters, Bim Skala Bim, Victor Wooten.
