Deep, inescapable grooves, swampy tremolo-soaked guitars, gritty-voiced harmonies… That is the soul tradition, those are the footprints that Soulstack follows in...

Soulstack was formed in 2011 by frontman Jonathan Knight (Wickens-Knight) and keyboardist Mark Wessenger. The band consists of drummer Tom Bona (Sue Foley, Colin James), and bassists Darryl “Harpo” Peterson (David Wilcox) and Josh Knight and most recently, baritone Guitarist Chris Latta.

Their 2012 Debut release “Big Red” garnered outstanding critical reviews. It received extensive airplay and charted #2 on the Roots Music Report tracking terrestrial radio airplay nationally for Folk/Roots/Blues. The album hit #18 for Galaxie Radio Play for 2012 and has appeared on a number of “best of” lists for 2012. “Since you Came Around” was selected as CBC RadioONE’s - HERE AND NOW “Song of the Week”

Soulstack received a 2014 Maple Blues Award nomination for “Electric Act of the Year” and “Drummer of the Year” and was nominated for an Independent Music Award (IMA) for 2013. The band performed in 2013 at Canada’s largest blues/roots-centric music festivals, including Montreal Jazz, Mont Tremblant, Kitchener Blues, as well as recently headlining The El Mocambo in Toronto where the band recorded the dynamic performance to the packed room.

Five Finger Discount is Soulstack’s sophomore album, engineered again by Jeremy Darby (Keith Richards, Smokey Robinson, Prince), combining poignant lyricism and sweet vocal harmony with the rhythm and grit of traditional blues. Self-produced, it tracks the organic evolution of the band as it continues growing in musical breadth and depth. It recently charted at #3 in Canada and #9 in North America for Blues on RootsMusicReport.com and has already received a substantial amount of positive press for the innovative album.
