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.
