California music goes global

The Caliopians are a California band (hence the Cali in our name) steeped in the sounds of the southern desert, the coastal surf towns, Bakersfield twang, and the inner city we live in. Opians cause we have a big place in our hearts and heads for Ethiopian jazz and Afro Cuban diaspora sounds. A big slice of Klezmer and what ever else falls into our listening life. The music we write and record all sounds like us, but different aspects of our roots end up in each separate number.

Muller says of the group, “John, Missy, and I have been playing together for years and we share a great chemistry with one another. When we started playing more and more with Martha we realized we had something truly special as a group. We decided to make it official and call ourselves the Kindred Souls.” “Touring as the Kindred Souls went so well that we thought that maybe we should make a record.

Producer Peter Katis (Interpol, The National) helped it all come together and we created our first official album release, The Sound. Building on each other's strengths allowed us to offer some fresh takes on songs we all love." The covers album's first two singles “For What It's Worth” and “The Way” have both reached the Top 20 on the Adult Contemporary chart, with four reaching the Top 30.

Dance -- Classic folk/rock grooves, nostalgic ballads, modern day classics, and a dash of originals

Two worlds collide in this freshly minted sonically dynamic duo. Joe brings his soulful and emotional vocals mixed with expressive and rhythmic guitar playing and Keith brings a long-steeped and road-worn wisdom of solid bass and rhythmic groove. Together they're pushing the boundaries of the sonic potential of the "Duo" and create the depth of a full-band using Live Looping, Synths, Drums, Sampling, and of course the staple electric/acoustic guitar and bass. Playing an eclectic mix of vocal and groove centric classics from the 70s all the way to present day. From Cat Stevens to Canned Heat, Pink Floyd to Radiohead, Bob Dylan to the White Stripes they'll play something that'll get everyone nostalgic and more likely than not, out on the dance floor!
