| Bio : | The Solar Heat is a band of brothers from Baton Rouge, Louisiana. C.J., the eldest Solar brother (now 16), has an edgy yet rich and soulful voice well beyond his years. It has been said that “there is nothing like sibling harmony”; and when younger brother, Cody, is not lending his vocals to harmony, he shares time as a lead vocalist and has been frequently called “ Little John Fogerty” in music reviews because of his rough, deep voice and the passion and fire he sings with. Cody’s twin, Mack, (both 14 now) is the quiet one, except when rockin’ out on the drums. The band has been playing locally for the past 6 years. The fact that the boys have covered over 400 songs from a wide variety of genres including classic rock, southern rock, country, blues, and alternative rock has helped them develop their current style of southern rock. Major influences have been Creedence Clearwater Revival and Lynyrd Skynyrd, and their influence is evident in C.J.’s guitar leads. The band has become seasoned performers since they started playing publicly at such a young age. They have played regularly at area restaurants and festivals developing a loyal fan base. They have, also, played for numerous charity events for the United Way, American Cancer Society, and American Heart Association. They have opened for hot local bands, such as Chris LeBlanc and After 8; and national acts including Aly & AJ and Vanessa Hudgens. They have, also, shared the stage with David St. Romain, Marc Broussard, Percy Sledge, and Big Luther Kent. The Solar Heat released their first original CD entitled, “On the Right Track,” August 2008 and they are currently working on their 2nd album. They have several new singles currently available on itunes and amazon.com. The band won their local Colgate Country Showdown, April 09 and will be representing radio station KQKI in the state competition this fall. They just won the Anthem Guitars Battle of the Bands with their new song, She Had a Gown, and had their radio debut of their new single, Slowdance, on WYNK, June 1, 2009. | |
