Blazing Soul, Funk, Rock and Jazz with a wall of horns is how some would describe The Soul Juice Band. However, a multi-genre "song writing" band is how they would describe themselves. The band combines 5 blazing horns, a screaming B3 Hammond organ, heavy guitar riffs and a gritty, soulful singer to create a dynamic fusion of heavy soundscape that is unique in the music industry. The band recently released their self-titled album “The Soul Juice Band” to rave reviews with three of their singles featured on Pandora’s curated Amp playlist and they continue to build a loyal fan base with their spectacular live shows and one of a kind musical sound.
The band is currently working on their second album with a slated release of Mar of 2024. The Soul Juice Band broke out in 2017 when they were recognized as "The Best Brass Band" in Las Vegas for 2017 by NPR Nevada in the Desert Companion Magazine and since then they have been booked all around the western United States. The band shines as a festival performer and was recently pegged to play in the 2022 “Life is Beautiful Festival” in Vegas owned by Rolling Stone and one of the biggest music festivals in the world. They also have rocked the stage at The Pigs for Kids Festival, Neon Reverb Festival, UNLV Reb Fest, The New Vista Craft Beer Festival, The Las Vegas Downtown Beer Festival, The Las Vegas Sangria Festival, Las Vegas Foodie Fest, Las Vegas Soul Festival and the Zion Canyon Music Festival where they shared main stage status with Fishbone as one of the festival headliners. The band also recently conducted a week-long artist in residence workshop for high school students with the City of LA ending with a concert at the Madrid Theater.
The band's Vegas credits include having a current residency at the magnificent showrooms of the Stations Casinos properties and playing other hotspots including Container Park, Sand Dollar Lounge, Bunkhouse Saloon, The Smith Center, Big Dog's Brewery, Santa Fe Station, The Mirage, The Encore, Fremont Street, Brooklyn Bowl, Hard Rock Café, and a 2-year residency at House of Blues.
The band has opened for national acts Niki Crawford, Big Sam's Funky Nation, The New Breed Brass Band, Arise Roots and Los Stellarians. Laying down their funky and soulful originals with a wall of 5 horns, this is a band you have to see live to believe. The band is made up of gritty, lead vocalist Dave Tatlock, keyboardist/band leader David Rogers, guitarist Joe Bonasorte, bass player Alan Butterfield and drummer Jared Leaper. Two trumpet players, Michael Rabadan and Pete Bresciani ; trombone player, Kevin Mullinax; Bari sax player Adam Schroeder, and tenor sax player Mat Schumer round out the band and help create the band’s signature “heavy” sound.
