Soul Patch is a great band. The vocalists harmonize very well and sound great! Their country music fit very well with our family focused event. They were good to work with and showed up when they said they would. We scheduled them many times for our fall event in 2012 and hope to schedule them even more for 2013. Great sound. Great people. Great fit. - Randy Feist, Linder Farms

The Student Union Building (SUB) was checkered with various people as the seven members of Soul Patch started to play on Friday afternoon as part of the Student Union Performance Series (SUPS). The scene was that of people eating, studying and others jamming to the sounds of tunes being amplified through the usually calm seating area. The place livened up quickly as people applauded and scrambled around to find the best seating. The SUB seating area remained full of life and full of upbeat sounds until the band played their last set, a song by the Eagles, which allowed the audience to slowly dissipate throughout the rest of the building. “I’m glad that Boise State’s doing this; it’s really awesome,” Maculley said. “I never saw this last year so I’m glad that this is happening.”" - Boise State Arbiter

The Rupert 4th of July Celebration enjoyed a wonderful evening of outstanding music and vocals from Soul Patch for our 2013 festivities. We had such wonderful comments from those in attendance about the great song selections that everyone knew and loved. It truly was a great selection of soft country music that made for a very special summer evening. Many people commented on the beautiful vocal sounds and the professional musical talent of all those in the band. The members of the band were all so friendly and great to work with during the set up and had great interaction with our crowd. We would give a huge recommendation to anyone considering Soul Patch if you are looking at an event or concert that is need of some great music that is done by some very talented and friendly people.
