Playing an array of venues around Eugene, ranging from
the McDonald to Cozmic, Sol Seed has a heavy local
presence. With hypnotic beats and graceful rhythms,
Eugene is lucky to call itself home to such a unique band.
“What sets us apart is the variety that our music brings.
We have multiple lyricists, everyone gets a chance to sing
and rap, and we all write our own lyrics,” says
percussionist, didgeridooist and vocalist Sky Guasco. “We
incorporate a lot of different instruments, we have a
didgeridoo, electronic, dub, saxophone, and we integrate a
lot of instruments. Reggae is definitely our backbone, but
there’s also a hip hop influence; there’s Latin, funk, blues,
jazz lines; we bring a lot to the table.” You’d be hard
pressed to find a band as interesting and entertaining as
Sol Seed anywhere else. As much as EW readers love the
band, their concerts show that they return the affection.
“At our shows it’s not so much being on stage playing to
the audience, it’s the energy we give to the crowd and what
we get back,” Guasco says. “Our shows are about
reciprocated energy, and they’re a lot of fun. It’s an honor
to be a part of Best of Eugene.”
