Sol Seed Transplants in Eugene

Sol Seed, a young talented band from Southern Oregon, has relocated their home base to Eugene. Originally known as The MICS, founding band members Michael Lennon and Michael Sorenson were joined by Ben Pessano in 2009 and Kenny Lewis in 2010. The group has developed their own unique style by combining aspects of rock, blues, hip-hop and reggae into what the band terms "roots fusion" music.

The four members of Sol Seed had the privilege of accompanying Jan Michael Looking Wolf, Native American Music Awards (NAMA) top artist of 2009, at this year's ceremony in Niagara Falls, New York on November 12, 2010. Looking Wolf received 2010 honors for record of the year for his album entitled "Breakin Free". Sol Seed acted as the backup band for Looking Wolf and performed for ceremony attendees and during the after-party.

According to Reverbnation, Sol Seed has rapidly climbed the charts in Eugene and has broken into the top ten out of more than 100 bands in a very short period of time. Their local hit song, Fire Rain, is still clamored for by its fans but check out the track Winter Warmth at solseedmusic.com for a wonderful example of root fusion music.
