Soul Stew is comprised of elite musicians from a variety of Northern Virginia area bands which was formed with the "Soul" mission of rocking a large Washington DC area festival. The inaugural gig was such a huge success and crowd favorite that the band decided to continue playing together and Soul Stew was formed. Soul Stew performs at DC area festivals and events throughout the year, while staying true to Soul Stew's roots of Soul, Motown, and R&B music.
