Soul Puppets

Co-founded in late 2025 by local musicians Chris Musial and Wade Keith, the band spent two years honing their vision of blending the acoustic stylings of their singer-songwriter front man with nostalgic influences from soul, Motown, funk, alt rock, blues, and grunge. That sweet jelly only solidified further when they expanded to include Gabe Reilly on drums. Add local legend Lance Ruby on electric guitar, and Alternative Soul/Acoustic Funk Blues Rock was born.
