From Sarasota, Florida, comes the unconventional five-piece band Soul Purpose, whose music is as vibrant as the city they live in. The musical background of the group includes an interesting fusion of styles, including metal, gospel, roots, and reggae. This type of sound is multidimensional and resists simple classification. This diverse blending of influences is meant to represent the difficulties and splendor of living in paradise.

Soul Purpose draws inspiration from a number of the most widely recognized musicians and genres in music history, a diversity of inspirations that is reflected in the members’ individual styles. The band finds great resonance in the love, connection, and progressive ideas conveyed by the legendary reggae artist Bob Marley. Their music is heavily influenced by reggae’s spiritual overtones, which provide a sense of joy and comfort.

With inspirations from bands like The Who and Metallica, Soul Purpose’s varied style also pulls from rock and metal scenes. Their rock-oriented compositions have a resonance with the Who’s timeless songs, which are characterized by strong guitar riffs and upbeat drim rhythms. The band’s music is also made more intense by drawing inspiration from Metallica’s heavier sound and intricate arrangements, which provide a level of ferocity and richness that goes well with the band’s reggae and rock influences.

Soul Purpose is a band that enjoys pushing forward with innovations and disregarding genre norms. Their openness to experimenting with numerous styles of music and inspirations has allowed them to develop a sound that is all their own and captivating to a wide spectrum of listeners. Their enthusiasm and intensity are evident throughout each performance, regardless of whether they are playing a high-octane rock song with intense guitar solos or a reggae single with a more relaxed atmosphere.

Soul Purpose is dedicated to their musical journey and never stops exploring new avenues for their music. This is a band that is worth checking out at Tropical Heatwave. They will be performing at the Ballroom at 9pm
