Seems like everyone is impressed with names they have heard of - so we thought we'd drop a few...
Here are some folks that Soulstice has played for or with...

Soulstice played for N.M. GOVERNOR and presidential candidate
BILL RICHARDSON at his personal request, in the audience were:
TV newsman SAM DONALDSON, prominent businessman and richest man in the world, CARLOS SLIM HELU,
country recording star RANDY TRAVIS.
Also the GOVERNOR of Arizona and MAYORS of El Paso, Albuquerque, Santa Fe.

Soulstice was filmed as part of an NBC TOM BROKAW
special segment for Dateline while performing at the WEINSTEIN family wedding at the Hyatt Tamaya.
HARVEY and BOB WEINSTEIN are film producers, previously of MIRAMAX Film Studios, now heading the WEINSTEIN COMPANY.

At a recent wedding for Washington diplomats Ed and Maria, the HUNGARIAN AMBASSADOR to the U.S. and musician ANDRAS SIMONYI sat in with the band and rocked out some songs to the delight of the audience.

At a wedding for Abbi & David, prolific Film & TV composer,
arranger and musical director BRUCE MILLER, composer of many TV theme songs including "Frasier" & music director on shows with Aretha Franklin & Smoky Robinson,played a piece on keys with the band and had a great time. He was very complementary of Soulstice.

Georgia rockers “ COLLECTIVE SOUL” co - producer, songwriter and brilliant guitarist DEXTER GREEN was a guest at another Soulstice event. Friends prompted him to sit in with the band and Dexter played some brilliant guitar. Afterwards he paid tribute to Soulstice's musicianship.

Another event Soulstice played at had ex “10CC” band member and music video director LOL CREME in the audience. Soulstice performed one of his hits " I’m not in love “ for Lol and guests. He loved the performance.

Soulstice played two wonderful local events recently:

The first was the Aspen Santa Fe Ballet Foundation dinner and dance " One Night In Acapulco" which was a great night of celebration and dancing. Soulstice was warmly received.
" Thanks for making our party a success" commented Jean- Philippe Malaty, the company's executive director. The band was promptly hired for next year's event.

The next was the Los Alamos National Labs Foundation event for their brilliant program of educational scholarships in New Mexico.
550 people gathered at the elegant conference room at the Ohkay Casino including the Foundations founder, honoree retiring Senator Pete Domenici
and many other dignitaries.
Soulstice provided the event's music with their usual professional style and even became The Late Show band for the night- playing theme intros for every speaker that came up to the podium .

AMERICAN REPUBLIC INSURANCE COMPANY DINNER / DANCE

" Best band we've had in twenty years..."
" You got them up to dance..."
"It was wonderful..."
" We were totally relieved when we saw how well it went..."

SOULSTICE had a very busy year in 2007. Our bookings surpassed last year's again.
Our thanks to all the people who recommend us and thanks for all the "Thank You" letters we receive. Keep them coming...

Soulstice enjoys playing for local fundraisers: firstly we get to contribute to organisations doing good things for our community, secondly we get to have a great time with local friends.

Soulstice was pleased to play for the third year for the " Glamour And Gauze" fundraiser at the Eldorado Hotel on October 20th 2007. This year's attendence swelled to 450 people, including local celebs: country singer Randy Travis, and actors Judge Reinhold and Wes Studi.

Comedian Bob Newhart entertained the audience of Santa Feans and after the auction there was enthiusiastic dancing up to the end of the night.

Organiser Maura Rieland had these words to say about Soulstice:
"Soulstice was once again the hit of the evening. To see so many people up dancing and enjoying themselves was truly rewarding. Your song selections for each of the sets you played was ideal. Our Gala Chair, Joan Vernick, called yesterday to tell me that she thought the music was "perfect." Just the right volume and type of music that allowed her guests to visit without having to scream over music.
Bravo!"

Soulstice prides itself on being able to change gears to play the right music for each stage of an event- big or small, background or dance party. We were happy to have contributed to such a worthy cause. We look forward to playing for the 2008 event on October 18th.

Last year Soulstice played for the NEW MEXICO MUSEUM OF FINE ARTS in Santa Fe. The event was a resounding success and a good time was had by the attendees. T

Soulstice has also played for:
Aid And Comfort,
The New Mexico Children's Association,
Big Brothers And Big Sisters Of New Mexico.
The American Cancer Society

We look forward to playing for more organisations who are helping our community and wish them all well in their efforts.

THE NEW MEXICO CHILDRENS FOUNDATION held it's 2007 fundraiser dinner, auction and dance and SOULSTICE was proud to be able to provide the music for the second year. The organising committe had this to say:
"The consensus was The band SOULSTICE was terrific, everyone commented on how much they enjoyed the music and the participation of the dancers was much greater than in the past. We certainly will be in touch next year. Hope that you have a very successful year."
We certainly had a great time playing for the event - it's always rewarding to be able to help our community.

We've noticed a lot of bands and even businesses showing up on the internet using the name " Soulstice" recently. Our band Soulstice has been in business for over ten years and although we are used to other bands trying to imitate our format and even our marketing we would think they could be original enough to find their own name ! However as we'd rather play music than become litigious at this time we have decided to add
" Santa Fe" to our name to make it very easy for anyone to find us on the internet.
So henceforth we are " SOULSTICE SANTA FE".
