The Soul Jacket

Many years and some changes of formation have happened since six musicians, who lived halfway between Vigo and Nigrán (Pontevedra), gathered back in 2004 in a basement to play a handful of songs inspired by the sound of the American and British rock'n'roll of the early 70’s.

Currently the band features Jorge Mizer and Guillermo Gagliardi on guitars, Jann Zerega on bass, Xabier Vieitez on keys, Mauro Comesaña on drums and Toño López on lead vocals. It was precisely the purely soul and Afro-American dye of Toño's voice—added to an overwhelming stage presence full of class, but in a certain wild way—that led them to be baptized as The Soul Jacket.

Up until now, The Soul Jacket are a strong reference in the national rock’n’roll and R&B scene and they are making their way into the international arena, thousands of kilometers of live experience and a huge growth in each album has led to the band to a state of grace not seen around in a long time.

Among the works published so far are full albums such as "Wood Mama" (2012), "Black Cotton Limited" (2014), "The Soul Jacket Vol. III" (2017) and "Plastic Jail" (2018), as well as EPs "Gunpowder Valley" (2013) and "Soul BBQ" (2016).
