Check out the review of our Marshfield Fair !! "Soul Box soon drew everyone’s attention back to the main stage, strolling right in with a purposeful stride. Zesty guitar licks, layers of barroom piano and smoky organ, hefty rhythms and a singer, George Howard, who sounded very raw, raspy, and powerful, made this band a stomping, authoritative funk experience. Opening their set with “Hootchie Cootchie Man,” Soul Box left no doubt about their credentials. Keyboardist Matt Smith, with his swirls of organ chords, helped make the crowd feel the bulbous steady groove that Soul Box conjured in each song. Guitarist Greg Miller offered plenty of blues-drenched licks that spiraled into heavenly dimensions. And that was just their first song. “Hold On” by Alabama Shakes found vocalist Howard full of ebullient soul in his earthy belt as the players created a fulsome, wide swath of real music around him. Capitalizing on their ability to start a song with hefty momentum, Soul Box next sailed into “Could You Be Love.” The funk grooves, riffs, and organ boogie were kicking like a mule. Soul Box have tremendous power when they slip into their ensemble grooves. It’s just as impressive as their moments to shine individually with flashy solos. “One Way Out” was chockfull of fine moments and “Sneakin’ Sally Through The Alley” found them knotting the grooves until they were thick with twists and turns solid enough to build a big house on top of. Wrapping up their set with “You Can Leave Your Hat On” allowed Howard to show true richness in his voice and Miller showed true soul in his spiraling guitar notes."
