Element of Soul

Element of SouL is a Reggae/Pop/Rock band from Northern California. With an original sound that carries a strong and positive message, influenced from all genres of Life and music. EOS has been playing shows in the Sacramento and surrounding areas since 2009.

From the biggest concert venues to the smallest of sports bars, this high energy act constantly has an affect on the crowd that causes dancing, singing, smiles, and laughter. Whether it’s an acoustic set, the full band, or a dance party by DJ Zephyr, Element of SouL offers a diverse and genre friendly package of entertainment.

In 2004, Issac and Mike wrote their first song together and have continued to create as a duo, and individually, ever since. Then in 2007, Chris and his bass promptly learned six original songs and performed in the bands first gig.

The following year posed separation for the group, following careers and starting families, each individual set off on the path they had been destined to follow.

In 2009 Issac and Mike were asked to preform a benefit show for a friend in need. After contacting Chris and getting together, they then knew what they had been missing. The Love of Music. The trio quickly recorded several songs and adapted the name Element of SouL.

EoS swiftly spread by word of mouth, playing parties, weddings, and benefits in the Placerville area for the next year, and with the addition of Zephyr(Seth) and his turntables, a unique sound was being heard and recognized. 2010 provided a new light and new sound with Eric and Tristan falling into place providing EoS with the full band experience. For the next two years, they created a catalog of over 40 original songs and spanned California, playing shows from Lake Tahoe to San Francisco.

In 2012, Element of Soul released their first full-length studio album and wrapped up their first west-coast tour, with their eyes on the broad horizon. In 2013, EOS released their second album, the acoustic EP, ‘Love & Light’. That very same year, they were nominated for a SAMMIES Award (Sacramento Area Music Awards) where they won the best Reggae/Jam category.

Fast forward to 2015 and Element of SouL’s third album, ‘Inspired Frequencies’, is by far their best work to date. Their music inspires you and soothes your soul.
