Also in mid-Oct Sol tours in France and Germany with rhythm and blues legends Beverly "Guitar" Watkins and Albert White.
Sol and his band recently released their debut CD entitled "Freedom". The Music Director at WUVT stated: “The Sol Creech Band is excellent at morphing rock, blues, soul, and reggae, taking it all to a different level and evolving the styles into- quoting Sly Stone- “a whole new thing”. Freedom is a great example of this band’s music and a truly enjoyable listening experience”.
