Sol Roots Band with Jr Cline and the Recliners (Motown/ Funk/ Soul) Party! Sat Sept 28

On Saturday Sept 28 from 4pm until 7:30pm the Sol Roots trio performs at JV's in Falls Church VA as a part of the owner Lorraine's special Birthday Bash! From 9:30 pm onward Jr Cline and the Recliners perform as well!

Sol Roots band features guitarist and vocalist Sol, with drummer extraordinaire Scott Rabino (of Tommy Castro) and phenomenal bassist and vocalist Eric Scott (of Deanna Bogart). “Sol's playing has been described as “musical glue," holding together many grooves and personalities. He has backed up legendary artists like Taj Mahal and Kenny Wayne Shepherd, opened for Robert Randolph, Wood Brothers, and has played with more obscure artists who have had unique perspectives and sounds. Though it all, he has learned many valuable lessons and is still able to hold on to the one thing that ties us all spiritually to one another — music.”- Jeff Reid - The Beat Magazine

“Where Jr. Cline and the Recliners are playing, there will be people dancing. They will leave the dance floor the way one gets out of a whitewater kayak that has completed its run – soaked and exhilarated.  …it is the singing of Daryl Junior Cline that puts the band over the top.  He not only has the pipes, he has the soul and the ear; he feels and understands what he is singing, and he puts that across to the audience.” - Bill Hooper, Baltimore Scene Magazine

“First thing to know about Daryl Jr. Cline is he has a heart as big as his native West Virginia, and is always the first guy to lend a hand to anyone who needs it.  A true heavyweight in the business, Jr. Cline has opened for Tina Turner, Wilson Pickett, Sam and Dave, Muddy Waters, Archie Bell and Steppenwolf.  With the Recliners, he’s recorded five CDs and played at the White House for Bill and Hillary Rodham Clinton.”  - Kevin Cowherd, Baltimore Sun

“…Jr. Cline and the Recliners are a mighty, well-oiled soul machine.  Cline’s rhythm section knocked out the audience with a flawless Memphis backbeat, while the horns answered Cline’s vocals in perfect counterpoint.” - Joe Sasy, The Washington Post
