SOULS in RHYTHM
NEW MUSIC ALERT!! HANS ISLAND - just released (Sept 2025) SiR’s newest single Hans Island is a reggae-influenced soul anthem about the decades-long “vicious” battle between Canada and Denmark over Hans Island (in the arctic between Greenland and Canada). Written in a cabin at the prestigious Banff Centre for Arts & Creativity, SiR was inspired by this historical and uniquely-Canada/Danish story that is a lesson that love and respect is the only way to resolve conflict. From 1973-2022 this war was fought with their actual navies.. Canada would send over a battleship, plant the Maple Leaf on Hans Island and leave a bottle of Canadian Whiskey, and in turn, the Danes would send over a destroyer, remove our flag, plant the Danish flag, and leave schnapps or brandy.
Souls in Rhythm have been releasing a multitude of singles the last couple of years, and are now also writing/recording their next full-length album, to be released before 2026.
From Calgary, Alberta, Canada - funk/soul group SiR has toured much of the nation, and opened for prominent artists such as American hip-hop icon Common, pop phenoms Tegan & Sara, blues-rock legend Colin James, and R&B super-group Boyz II Men (twice), to name a few! They were honoured to accept a songwriting residency at the Banff Centre, where (over the course of three weeks) they came up with a mountain of new finished songs. Armed with a new wealth of material, they are extremely excited about their next chapter!
Rather than being impressionists of master/classic artists of the genre, SiR has a modern sound and seeks to innovate and contemporize a musical form they love. Canadian Musician Magazine elaborates; “smooth, soulful grooves, melody lines that stay in your head and polished vocals”, SiR’s music proudly pays homage to tradition, while at the same time expanding boundaries.
"Souls in Rhythm has found a unique niche somewhere between the pop radio crowd and the folk and roots scene, with songs as influenced as prominently by Prince and Michael Jackson as Al Green and Jerry Lee Lewis." - The Edmonton Sun
Souls in Rhythm is: Scott Henderson (keys/vocals)Caleb Roddick (bass), and Vincent Bundick (guitar).
"SiR is a funk to get in to...R&B act is the real deal" - Calgary Sun
With a live show that delivers “hard-hitting bass, rhythmic guitar, rock-solid drums and dancing keys, all welded together with Henderson’s polished vocals” (Kamloops This Week), SiR will make you feel its music, inevitably ending with asses shaking on the dance floor!
