Soak's 3 members have a varied background of influences that includes a very wide array from The Grateful Dead and Phish to Led Zeppelin and The Black Crowes to Primus, Korn and Metallica. Add in a love of jazz, funk and blues amongst all members and you get a very unique blend of music that is rock in nature, jam band inspired at times, and caries a healthy dose of jazz and funk inspired grooves woven into the fabric of the music. Whether they are in an intimate local club setting, an Amphitheatre setting, such as opening up for Incubus at The U.S. Cellular Pavilion in Gilford, NH or performing in a festival such as the 2006 Sterling Stage Festival with 30 other bands including Dickey Betts and Great Southern, Soak displays a stage comfort allowing them to explore their jams and a magnetism that draws the viewers into their tight riffs and grooves. The chemistry that exists among the 3 members of Soak is tangible and provides tight, moveable rhythms, soaring solos and melodies and lyrics that paint a vivid picture for the listener. When adding covers into their set, Soak does well at making the track their own in every way.
