"They can be described as raw energetic funky blues. Playing together for 7 years now, Sol Fiya has become known for its thick laden jam sound that encourages audiences to get up and get down!"
"Sol Fiya virtually oozes New Orleans from every pore while bringing in bayou funk and even gospel influences."

Bio
Christian Boone was born and raised in New Orleans, steeped in the citys musical tradition. As a young man, he drank in the sounds of Dr. John, Earl King and second-line street parades behind the Rebirth Brass Band. In '97, he traveled to Massachusetts and Northern California to learn the luthier's craft and immersed himself in the traditions of American Acoustic music, yet never abandoned his love for blues, Southern melodic rock and funk.
In 2000, these varied influences found expression in the band Sol Fiya. Combining the powerful, creative drumming of Lee Sammons, the melodic Bass of Thomas McDonald, Chris Mule's guitar virtuosity and awesome B3 chops of Michael Burkhardt, the bands fresh yet familiar sound created an instant buzz in New Orleans and beyond.
While many may be familiar with Boone's writing and recording work with artist such as Anders Osborne and Big Chief Monk Boudreaux, the sound of Sol Fiya takes off to higher heights. Now, with the bands new CD "Heaven She Rides", produced by Pepper Keenan (of Corrosion of Conformity and DOWN), audiences everywhere have a chance to discover the irresistible magic of Sol Fiya.
