Live Music: Soul Patch

SOUL PATCH, with their eclectic blend of classic rock, blues and funk has established themselves as one of Colorado’s most talented and hippest groups. Anyone who has seen SOUL PATCH live can attest to the great music and energetic atmosphere that the crowd can always expect at a show. Between the band’s clever, original songwriting and their electric stage presence, SOUL PATCH is sure to entertain the eyes as well as the ears.

The members of SOUL PATCH came together after many years in the city’s diverse music scene. It’s hard not to be impressed by the powerful voice of the band’s lead-singer Missy Gutreuter. Accompanied by her guitar, Missy always lights up the stage and delivers her original lyrics to the audience with a voice that’s a welcome throwback to the classic-rock roots of rock and roll. Lead guitarist Jimmy Giachetti brings over 20 years of experience to SOUL PATCH. Jimmy’s original licks and unmistakable natural talent lend an explosive edge to this innovative group. The power and pocket groove of drummer Chris Murphy makes him the ultimate heartbeat of the band. Mike and Jimmy Chiesa on horns completes the unique sound of SOUL PATCH. Together, these fine musicians have created a sound all their own, ranging from folk to rock, blues to funk.

Over the years, SOUL PATCH has brought their music to a large part of the west but has most often been seen in their hometown of Denver, Colorado. The band has rocked many live local music hot spots around Denver including Herman’s Hideaway, The Bluebird Theatre, Hard Rock Cafe, Cricket on the Hill and the Soiled Dove. Elsewhere in Colorado they have taken their show to popular venues all over the state ranging from Colorado Springs to Fort Collins, Brighton to Breckenridge. SOUL PATCH has also been featured in the Capital Hill Peoples Fair and the Celebrate Colorado Artists festival.
