Details:
Looking to add some funk to your life? Souls in Rhythm is here to help! An anomaly on the prairies, Souls in Rhythm (a.k.a. SiR) is a funk/soul squad based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, and is comprised of vocalist Scott Henderson on keyboards, the ferocious funk of bassist Caleb Roddick, the dominant soul beats of Spencer Cheyne, and the precise lead/rhythm guitar of Craig Newnes.

Since their inception, SiR has always maintained a focus on songwriting, delivering inspiring lyrics, sing-able melodies and deeply passionate vocals. As a result they've earned much critical acclaim. They are finalists of the National Songwriting Competition and winners of the CBC Showcase Competition. Upon releasing their debut album ("Can't Fake The Funk"- 2006), SiR won Astral Media's Vibe 98.5 FM's $100,000 Unsigned Vibe Songwriting Competition.

Along with outstanding songs, SiR's high-energy, audience-involving live performances showcase their impressive musicality. SiR's musical influences come from the masters of funk and soul - Sly & The Family Stone, Parliament and Prince, to name a few - providing them the base on which to further create their own unique sound.

SiR has performed across Canada at many high profile events, including The Banff World Television Festival, NXNE, Capital EX, NewMusicWest and at the Western Canadian Music Awards. They have also been the choice opening act for several current hitmakers. As the 2008 Juno Awards were held in Calgary, SiR took a major role in the festivities - lead singer, Scott Henderson (also the founder of 2 time Juno nominee, R&B vocal group The EarthTONES), played in the Juno Cup, the group performed as part of JunoFest, and they were featured in the media as one of Calgary's rising musical gems.

Their newest release, "Funklore" (released March 2008), was again mostly self-produced in Calgary, but they did travel to work with accomplished producers Jeff Dawson (Daniel Powter) in Vancouver and Trey Mills (X-quisite) in Toronto.

With their sights on the future, and a new album just released, Souls in Rhythm is ready to take their sound to the world!!
