Pacific Soul

Pacific Soul is a two man orchestra. Handley and Butow are accomplished musicians and great entertainers who can either keep the show intimate enough to hear a pin drop or wild enough to make an audience dance on their tables and throw caution to the wind. The two combine technological advances such as looping, and traditional instruments to layer an array of sounds into fun dance grooves and elaborate compositions. Butow and Handley have a unique musical bond that breaks the mold of conventional duos and produces the sound of a much larger band. While both are experienced song writers with their own unmistakable voice, their influences shine through their music and show their diverse musical tastes. Everything from Reggae to Funk, Blues to Swing, even Hip-Hop to Soul, this duo invokes eclectic nostalgia while still being inventive and new. They play originals and classic covers with their own unique twist that is unmistakably Pacific Soul. One may be playing guitar and harmonica while the other is looping percussion, bass, and keys to create grooves that keep the audience engaged and dancing all night long. Pacific Soul is indeed one of a kind.
