Soul Porpoise

Soul Porpoise lays down all original organ driven funk and soul inspired by artists such as Stevie Wonder, Dr. John, and Herbie Hancock. Collin Cope’s gritty vocals have been compared to Joe Cocker and Ray Charles and breathe fire into Ira Friedman’s heartfelt original songs. This soul drenched band will move your body with craft songs and airtight grooves.
