Taste of Soul was founded by acclaimed singer/songwriter, Brian Carter. The band started its humble beginnings in mid-2008 in Medford, Oregon as a 10-piece band. The first band comprised three vocalists; small horn section and a local band that was converted from its soft rock cover roots. After a year of thrilling audiences across the state with their tremendous energy and proven ability to entertain listeners of all ages with memorable cover tunes, the band started out on a journey to create its own identity and original tracks.
The gentle weaving of old school R&B, soul and Motown musical blends captured the true essence of the bands existence, while preparing them for entertaining and captivating performances. This mixture of musical genres prompted the band to coin their particular style as “Rhythmic Soul”!
Taste of Soul has just completed its first piece of musical work through a self-produced CD entitled – A New Beginning, which became available in the U.K. on December 29, 2010. This group of self-determined focused musicians shares their talents as well as their stories of love, heartbreak and triumph through its lyrical sincerity and instrumental power. Not being complacent with the introduction CD, they are back in the studio producing a follow-up CD (Arrival) that proves to display more versatility and musical truthfulness.
This band is destined to become a favorite of R&B/Soul enthusiasts because of their ability to be dedicated to a genre that promotes what they stand for and represent.
Sophisticated, Tasteful, Soulful – We are Taste of Soul!
