Reviews / Awards:


*Winners of the 2007 Starbucks/Hearmusic SoCal Music Award


"If you haven't had the pleasure of hearing Soulajar yet, don't miss the chance, for after just one listen to their music, I'm sure you'll agree that this is a band on its way to greatness."
-Frank Maccioli, Jazz Examiner.com


"For a debut album from this Bakersfield native band it sure has the sound of a band that has been playing for years if not decades. They have introduced a new sound and flavor to the local Bakersfield music scene thats enjoyable for all ages. Each of the 5 tracks have their own great style, sound and soul that you just can't help but love the whole thing from start to finish. Only thing I'm hoping for is that the band comes out with a full album soon cause
I'm itching for more music!"
-B. Hayslett, Amazon.com
 

"With Soulajar, the listener finds lush, tasty progressions
that are more like sonic expeditions than the cookie-cutter offerings
from acts looking for a break."

-Erik Loyd, The Bakersfield Californian

 

"Soulajar is a sensation all its own.  Taking soul, a little blues, and lots of heart to create some of the best original music since Motown."
-Chris Carter, The Bakersfield Interest Magazine

 
"Wow!! Soulajar is a totally unexpected joy and surprise. Your groove is strong, the recording is clean and the sound is mind-blowing. Keep up the good work. And from Bakersfield, who knew? I played Bakersfield several times in the late 1990's and there was nothing there like you guys. "
-Ashford Gordon, Professional Musician



"This CD sounds great! It's nice to know that there's still some cats out there groovin from the heart. Reminds me of the old B-Town Sound... and I'm talking old school!"
-Billy Russell, Hot Taco


"Soulajar is a genre defying blend of pop rock, funk, jazz, blues... a melting pot of mouth watering musical soup."
-Danielle Belton, The Bakersfield Californian
