The Purple Onion Sunday Evening Music (POSEM) series continues with the energetic Sol Driven Train on August 14 at 7 o'clock. There will also be a free children's concert that afternoon at 4:30 to commemorate Saluda's 130 Year Anniversary.
Sol Driven Train is a band in motion. At shows, the band members bounce to the pulse of the music along with the crowd. Stylistically the band "seamlessly mixes Allmanesque Southern rock, languid world-beat, swampy funk and downright catchy melodies as they swap lead singers and instruments. A punchy horn section adds an extra dimension of sweaty soul to the genre-blurring jam party" (Atlanta Creative Loafing).
Sol Driven Train's music weaves through genres like images in a Tom Robbins paragraph. The band's sonic schizophrenia absorbs songwriting influences like Jon Prine and Paul Simon, and afro-caribbean rhythmic explorations, into honest songs of life, love, loss, and long johns. The 5-piece band, based in Charleston, SC, features rotating lead vocalists, and multi-instrumental talent spread across horns, strings, and percussion. The band members share a musical history dating back to childhood, and their music and live shows are filled with a spirit of positivity and joy, even while traversing subjects of suffering and death.
Admission to the 7 o'clock show is $20 per person and seating will be limited. The doors open at 6 PM and light fare will be available on the patio prior to the concert. Reservations
