Sofusion
Sofusion plays classic rock cover sounds of the 70s and 80s infused with similar-style, original songs and tasty jazz-fusion influenced jams.
Sofusion is a four piece band comprised of drums, bass, guitars, and synthesizers with all four members contributing to the huge lack of vocals.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Sofusion has been playing together as a working band for the past four years and has developed a dedicated fan base.
Each of the members have also played live together in different situations for more than ten years. current schedule conflicts and side projects are preventing gigs at the moment.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
yes, and a lot of dead covers too....?
