RECENT PRESS

“Their blend of jazz, pop, and rock is inventive and captivating. Their lines are on point and their sound is tight, creating space for Billy Litz's rabbit hole musicianship. And you can f***ing dance to it. Friday night was a revelation, I'm already looking forward to the next one.” - Caleb Calhoun

"The debut album by the Asheville, N.C., quartet Hustle Souls, “Color,” is 10 tracks of supple, groove-centric soul rock....It’s hard not to start bobbing your head to a collection of tunes that sounds like it could’ve come from Willie Mitchell’s Hi Records recordings in the early 1970s in between Mitchell’s Al Green productions." - Vincent Harris Greenville Journal

"...smooth and funky, keys driven, body shaking sound that lifts your soul and moves your feet. " - Two3Four Entertainment

"With a style that started out tilting towards Americana but has picked up heavy doses of funk and soul, Hustle Souls can take their listener to some very dark, and some very bright places.

BIO

In the budding music-mecca of Asheville, NC, a man with a trumpet, a guitar and a mission metamorphosed into the groove-centric but emotionally driven soul/rock band, Hustle Souls. With years of relentless touring under their belt, sold out shows and major festival appearances, the band’s infectious modern meets vintage sound has earned them a reputation as one of the East Coast’s most promising acts. After releasing a live video series in 2017, the band was approached by gold and platinum mixer and producer Eric "Mixerman" Sarafin (Ben Harper, Pharcyde etc.) about making a record. In February 2018 Hustle Souls released their debut full-length album “Color” to a sold out crowd and are currently touring from Atlanta to Boston in support of the 10 song LP.
