Check out all the good word we be getting!

From Soulchoonz: "....Does soul music get any better? Well, I for one love this and can't wait to hear more from this wonderful group who are upright, sturdy and taking no nonsense...real soul music is alive and well...and available on the superb G.E.D. Soul label. Down South music. Without any barriers."

Sky Hi w/The Congress - Nashvillescene: "...deep-funk maestros par excellence. We always thought Dee, their lead singer, had one of the best sets of pipes in the six-one-five..."

HERE COMES THE FUNK - Chattanoogan.com: "... Now it’s time for the SkyHi Band to get the funk on at Rhythm & Brews this Friday night. Do they bring the horns? In the words of Sarah Palin, “You Betcha!” - Four of them – a trumpet, a trombone, and 2 saxophones. Nine musicians, coincidently the same number as Here Come The Mummies, SkyHi brings their own brand of funk. It seems to have a little more R & B influence than the aforementioned bands, but with a healthy dose of funk thrown in for good measure...."

First, the music:

12.31.09 Micheal Royer Now an Official Member of Sky Hi! / New website online! / Thanks to Chatty for a great New Year's Eve!

First off, the new website is up and running in full force. There are still many additions to be made and it is a work in progress, but it's certainly on the up and up!

We want to thank Market St. Tavern, Fearful Symmetry, and the good folks of Chatty town for coming out and making this a great night. Special props to everyone who put in hard work to pull this crazy good time show together!

We look forward to heading back to Chattanooga in the next few months, so don't sleep on the funk!

We are pleased to announce that we have a new member, the venerable Michael Royer joining the team. Even after the obligatory moonshine initiations Royer is still a fantastic trumpeter.

In the last few months we have gained a lot of valuable players whom you may have not seen with us yet. We have the smooth sounds of Mark Spain on tenor and baritone saxaphone, and the big sound of Austin Little on trombone. The horn section has never sounded better, so check out some tunes and catch us when we are in your town!
----------------------------------

Who are we? What are we about?

Sky Hi has been kicking around the Southeast for some time now, leaving behind them a swath of weak kneed, sweaty funk fans in their wake. Building on a mixture of funk, soul and latin elements, the Sky Hi crew craft a sound that is unique in it's approach and delicate in it's subtle nuances.

G.E.D. Soul is proud to be the home of the group's first ever 7inch release (available in early 2010), with a full length soon to follow.
