about
Bob Dylan once said, “A lot of people can’t stand touring, but to me, it’s like breathing. I do it because I'm driven to do it.” Soular – Marsh, Jared, Brian, and Ian – feel the very same. To them, playing live shows is what music is all about. The energy, the spontaneity, the interaction with the audience: giving the listener an experience. Enjoying the vibe with each other and the audience. As Marsh puts it, “It’s their soundtrack for the night.” Soular are comprised of four musicians who love art, storytelling, music, their fans, and performing live. They’re based out of Albuquerque, New Mexico, but you would never know it because they tour so much. Soular is the epitome of the “hard-working band”, determined to promote themselves and personally let their fans know how much they’re appreciated. Soular began in 2002, when Jared Ashcraft (bass) and Marsh (keys and vocals) began their musical collaboration. Not too much longer after that, they added drummer Ian Byrd and released their first album, Time and Space, which appeared on the CMJ 200 chart for more than two months in 2005. Around this time, guitarist Brian Lee joined the band, and Soular was complete. The four individuals’ styles instantly meshed; Marsh says he knew they would be able to create music together after playing with them only once. Their sound, which has been described as “epoch rock”, drinks from the waters of the Beatles, Radiohead, U2, Queen, and Led Zeppelin, but maintains complete originality
