SolElement

Sol Element is a New Orleans Neo-Soul band formed from The Crooners of soul singer Greg Banks which began in September 2010. Seeking to expand from R&B to experiment more with the rhythms of Funk, Hip-Hop, Pop, and improvisation, Sol Element was formed. The band members(above): female drummer Jaz Butler, Trenton Thomas on violin, Jay Winfield on keyboard, Phil Sylve on saxophone and JD on bass. Sol Element, along with Greg Banks, began doing local shows on the New Orleans college circuit and later performed at local venues such as House of Blues New Orleans, Tipitina’s, Eiffel Society “Red Clay Soul” event ft. McLyte and Dwele for Essence Fest, Maison, Jax Brewery Crown Royal event, and W Hotel’s Music Rock Series.
