TROPICAL SOUL takes their fans on a musical journey that sends them south where the palm trees sway and warm ocean breezes blow. Their tunes range from covers of acoustic beach and pop music, to island-flavored original songs. This duo from Central PA has been playing their summertime tunes for crowds year-round for almost seven years. In addition, they are frequently traveling out of the area to play for their fans from around the Country.

In November, 2004, they made their sixth annual trip to Key West, Florida, to play at the National ParrotHead (Jimmy Buffett Fan Club) Convention, where they were joined on stage by Tina Gullickson, Jim Mayer, TC Mitchell, and Heather Perry of Jimmy Buffett's Coral Reefer Band, and R. Scott Bryan, formerly with the Sheryl Crow Band. Two years ago, Jimmy Buffett himself made an appearance and Tropical Soul opened up for him on the big stage in front of Margaritaville on Duval Street and played to 3,500 fans.
