Soul Calypso. Reggae. Rasta Rock

Stir it Up With the Midwest's Favorite Party Band. Soca Jukebox has established itself as one of the Midwest's most sought-after groups with a Caribbean steel drum infusion into one fun, rockin' band. Each member of Soca Jukebox is a multi-instrumentalist with percussion, vocal and string backgrounds.

Taking their name from a popular Caribbean music style (soca is slang for "Soul Calypso"), the one-of-a-kind quintet performs traditional island music as well as more familiar contemporary hits. They give every song a unique Latin or Reggae twist, the very element that endears them to audiences.

This is not your "typical steel drum band": you'll find no cheesy background tracks, and no "wallpaper music." Their presentation is high-energy and truly entertaining...an instant party atmosphere is almost guaranteed. Jump up, feel the rhythm and say, "Yah, Mon" to this extraordinary ensemble.

What a weekend!  After two hot steamy nights for hundreds of clubgoers at Cunninghams in Kearney, NE, we were blown away by the overwhelming response of 30,000 new friends at the Amelia Earhart Festival.  Thanks to everyone who had a kind word, bought us a drink, picked up a CD, or shook the appropriate body parts in rhythm.  You made us feel like the rock stars we pretend to be!

Please visit our myspace page, and befriend us. www.myspace.com/socajukebox

Thanks for stopping by.  We hope to see you soon.

Namaste,
