Solid Core blends dance, pop, funk, and blues to create their sound.
Maybe not so new, since all members have been playing in and around the Tampa Bay area for more than 8 years, but a fresh approach to new and old sounds. 

You may have seen the members in various bands throughout the years which is testimony that each have a desire, a passion for their craft.   Recently the band has appeared at several festivals locally, bringing along their captivating energy and sound.  Dedicated to providing top notch entertainment through mutual respect and respect to the music and an understanding that folks just “wanna have a good time”, these friends are SOLID CORE.

We are pleased to have them here for our FINAL Sunday Afternoon Music Fest by the Bay.
