		Recent Shows:
			As always, we've had alot of fun at our recent shows. As well as our typical locations around Manchester, we've recently played at Slammer's in Bedford and Jillian's in Manchester. Both had fun crowds and were great places to play. In addition, Memorial Day weekend gave Soak it's first New York appearance at the Sterling Stage Kampitheatre Folk Festival. Soak shared the bill with 30 other bands over 3 days including headliners Dickey Betts & Great Southern! Needless to say the guys were all pumped to be sharing a show with one of their legendary guitar heroes.

			For more show details, please be sure to visit our Gigs page on the web site for setlists, photos, show notes, and any available audio and/or video recordings that we've decided to post from the shows.

If you've seen any of our July shows, you've likely noticed something a little different about Soak... The Memorial Day Sterling Stage show was Patrick's farewell performance with the band. He has decided to step aside from the band to spend more time with his family and we wish him all the best.
			As a result, we took the month of June off to evaluate our options as we move forward. We thought about becoming a 3-piece band and also auditioned several musicians. In the end, our search has brought us Matty Jeff as the newest member of Soak on guitar and vocals. Matty is a lively player that had been successfully gigging around Manchester as a solo artist before deciding to join the Soak family. It was quickly evident that there was a good chemistry and you can already hear some great contributions from Matty in our existing catalog of songs as well as some new variety in songs that he has brought along with him. Be sure to come out and welcome Matty aboard!
