DHARMASOUL CONCOCTS INTOXICATING BLUES/FUNK/SOUL/AMERICANA HARD GROOVE 2-PIECE

NEW BAND FROM JONAH TOLCHIN (10+ MILLION SPOTIFY SPINS) WILL PLAY PASTE SESSION MAY 2

The hard-grooving new band from singer/guitarist Jonah Tolchin and singer/drummer Kevin Clifford Dharmasoul will be on tour in the northeast through the spring as its debut album ‘Lightning Kid’ is readied for June 1 release. The band will also play a Paste Magazine session on May 2. Their dynamic sound has been compared to the Black Keys and The Wood Brothers.

Tolchin’s solo work on Yep Roc Records garnered 10+ million Spotify streams and found him sharing the stage with the likes of Greg Allman, Tony Joe White, and Justin Townes Earle.

Dave Alvin said, “Jonah Tolchin is one of my favorite artists working on the highways today. He is one of the very rare, totally honest performers in the often artificial world of contemporary music. Like my heroes Lightning Hopkins or Merle Haggard, Dharmasoul follows its own, unique path through American traditions and it's always worthwhile to follow them down that path.”

Meanwhile, Clifford’s musicianship expanded from time spent in New Orleans, including studying Jazz at Loyola. He has performed at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival with the Loyola Jazz Band and with Mikayla Braun.
