What is it about Atlanta Georgia’s Soulhound that makes them so special? Maybe it’s because in a sea of interchangeable, cookie cutter bands & music, Soulhound creates music that just doesn’t sound like their contemporaries.


Soulhound has been described as “The Meters meets Hendrix meets Steely Dan”. One things for sure, Soulhound are inspired disciples of the groove-oriented R&B, Soul & greasy Funk of the late sixties & seventies. Their influences range from Tower of Power & Parliament/Funkadelic to Graham Central Station, The Beatles, Phish & Miles Davis. With their unique brand of song-based, groove-oriented music, the band’s shows have become a crossroads where fans of all these genera can meet & get their groove on.


Soulhound has played all over the Southeast & has shared the stage with both national & regionally touring groups like Blues Traveler, Grace Potter & the Nocturnals, RAQ, The Legendary JC’s, The Lee Boys, Donna Hopkins Band, Ancient Harmony, Cadillac Jones, Laura Reed & Deep Pocket, Yo Mama’s Big Fat Booty Band & many others.


Soulhound’s 1st EP “A Quickie In The Cave” was released in the summer of 2009.  It was recorded mostly live at the famed Tree Sounds studios in the big room – AKA “The Cave”.
