Soul Stingers have been appearing as duo, trio, quartet, quintet a couple hundred dates in its evolution since 2020. And in addition to a few originals, they perform from an extensive list of classic artists songs. Sitting down in intimate settings, Soul Stingers present a unique take on familiar tunes in a semi acoustic presentation.
Having performed in the past as a solo, I'm grateful to have the confidence of these musicians joining with me. The creation of great times playing live music, with other humans, for other humans, can be as gratifying as life gets ...especially if you're stinging some souls along the way. ~ Mark David
