The SolitaireOne is primarily a one person effort with some occasional collaborations with a few friends and musicians. The productions are mostly blues and classic rock with a sound that is kind of throwback to the 60s. A sound meld of styles similar to the styles of Eric Burdon and the Animals, Creedance Clear Water, Rolling Stones and Tom Petty rolled into one.

While some of the bands music may be to some reminiscent of the sounds of the 60s British Invasion, the recording of a jazzy blues single called "Betty Grey Belle" seems to invoke memories of the original James Bond movie tracts.

In most of the recordings of The SolitaireOne are really the the recordings of just one person. However, there are some recording that have two people in them. In all the contribution to the whole body of recordings on this band's page is 4 four people. But one of the 4 is on every single of these recordings. Is it confusing enough yet? Well that's the way it is among friends that are also musicians at heart. So all these recordings are under the name "The SolitaireOne. At this point it is obvious to the reader why the name "The SolitaireOne". It's been pretty mucha one person production with a little help now and then from some good friends.

These days though, The SolitaireOne has been pretty inactive except for recently uploading a couple of old recordings of some cover songs. But there is some communications between 3 of the people who have recorded with "The SoliaireOne" and there is the desire to do another recording at this time. However, as it goes our music is a hobby and our real means of maintenance has nothing to do with music. So scheduling time to record is not very easy when other priorities are taking up most of our time.

















Why this name?
As previously explained on this page the band name is a reflection of a particular facet of the band. That being that even though there are 4 people who have contributed to the total recordings of the SoliltaireOne, but no more that two of them on any on recording. And in most recordings there is only one person. And one person in particular the owner of the band and studio is on every recording. Now if that isn't confusing enough- there are still at least three different writers and two other lyricists who have also contributed. But still at the end of the day the SolitaireOne has only one founder and full time member that so far is one every recording of THe SolitaireOne. So even if no one else ever contributes again the band is then that of one solitairy individual.
Do you play live?
Though each of the individuals that have been in these recordings of "The SolitaireOne" have performed live, as "The SolitaireOne" we have not performed together for the general public. We have not been in an night clubs together. The commitment there would require something that some of us just are not willing to give to it- our time. At least not at this time. Memories of the late nights and packing and moving equipment and so forth just does not appeal like it did a long time ago. Still we don't say it will never happen. We each do at times get to thinking it would be fun to do some live performances as long as we don't have to do it. But doing it night after night and moving from one place to another. Just does not appeal to any of us.
Your influences?
The recordings of "The SolitaireOne" has elements in the sound that might invoke memories of early bands like, The Animals, The Who, CCR, the Rolling Stones, and other groups and artists of the 60s.
