Sōleffect is a dynamic band from California’s Central Coast, delivering a powerhouse fusion of rock, funk, blues, reggae, and jazz. With two soulful female vocalists, Bethany and Laura, whose harmonies intertwine effortlessly, Sōleffect creates an electrifying and unique sound. Driven by groovy rhythms and rich instrumentation—guitar, bass, trumpet, keys, and drums—the band brings fresh life to classic covers while crafting inspiring original music. Their original songs, including Write My Story, Be the Change, What If, and Strength from Within, carry uplifting messages and a deep sense of connection.“When we sing together, it’s as if our souls and voices become one,” Bethany and Laura share. “We want to connect with our audience on that level.” Performing at wineries, bars, festivals, and private events across San Luis Obispo County, Sōleffect brings an infectious energy that keeps audiences dancing all night.
