SOJA IN CONCERT:
Tempestuous weather and turbulent waters are no match for the chill vibes of Virginia-based reggae rockers SOJA. In advance of their ninth studio album, the band will embark on the Calm Before The Storm Spring Tour in early 2014, treating fans throughout the Southeastern US to laid-back sets of their smooth grooves and folk-influenced storytelling.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
The members of SOJA, formerly known as Soldiers of Jah Army, have been playing music together since middle and high school, forming an intimate bond that's immediately evident in their tight playing. Following a self-titled EP in 2000, the band released Peace in a Time of War, their first full-length album, in 2002. Influenced by the politics and musical style of reggae legend Bob Marley, the band struck a chord with fans of roots rock reggae, paving the way for the success of 2006's Get Wiser, which debuted in the Top 10 Reggae Albums on iTunes. The bands mesmerizing live show further bolstered their reputation, resulting in several successful live DVDs. Releasing eight albums in just over ten years, the ever-prolific band thrilled fans with the announcement of a ninth album in 2014.
FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:
"This show was phenomenal. The energy was INSANE, even with a smaller crowd. We drove almost 150 miles round trip just to see this show, and it was worth every minute of the monsoon we drove through. "
"The show was awesome! Great performance! If you love reggae music, you have to check them out."
"Seeing SOJA for the first time and I was impressed. All of the band members are very talented and they all jam so well together. Great live band and I definitely look forward to seeing them again!"
It was a great experience. I've been to this venue before but never to see a show at the Backyard Stage. It was more intimate that the Amp which is saying alot because the Amp is already a smaller venue than an arena! Staff are always friendly; transportation is always easy; food/bar is always great and of course, the concert was awesome!
Had a Fantastic time Listening to some amazing Bands and Music ?? ?????? Met a few friends and made a few new ones Love the Venue at Club XL in Harrisburg Always a Great Experience
Not only is SOJA an amazing band but they put on a phenomenal high energy performance at XL Live. That said XL Live was WAY ABOVE and beyond what I expected from that venue, super clean, amazing layout and very friendly staff. I WILL be back.
By far one of the worst soja shows I had ever seen. There was no energy and the vocals were really bad. Ended up leaving early.
Sofa is SO good. The show was great energy and intimate, but it should have been a sold out show in a large venue because they are that good! The Midwest just hasn’t caught on to the reggae vibes yet. Keep coming back here, though, Soja!
We travel to see SOJA every year and this year it was Chicago and Indianapolis. The thing we have been amazed by from the start has been the energy they bring to their shows, no matter if they are playing to 15000 or 150 fans. For the fan experience, there is nothing better than a small show in a great acoustical venue and that's what Indianapolis was. I think everyone in the show knew every word and I think they danced and sang for the whole show. SOJA never disappoints and delivered beyond our best hopes. See you next time around for sure!
Great Concert! SOJA put on an awesome show! Great venue, excellent service from the workers & staff. Friendly environment & great sound system! Definitely going again!
SOJA was amazing as always! I wanted to give extra props to everyone helping out with the ADA seats. I was well taken care of from booking all the way through the show. I like the new changes Ace of Spades made to the ADA seats as well! All around... great job. ??????????
He is amazing. I've seen him over 10x and I always leave his show with a smile on my face.
Soja is an awesome band!! This was my first time seeing them and I have to say I highly recommend seeing them!! They put on a great performance and they have a really amazing band!! Every member of the band is very talented!! They all can play instruments and sing!!??????
