Live at Lakeview: Element of Soul, Taking Root

Element of Soul is a Northern Cali reggae/folk/pop/rock band with an original sound that carries a strong and positive message, influenced by all genres of music and life. The band is on its home turf in El Dorado County, as it calls Placerville home. Members are Mike O’Briant (vocals/guitar/bass), Benjamin Moore (vocals/guitar/keyboards), Seth Ahern aka DJ  Zephr (turntables), Eric Opdyke (drums), Tristan Brown (guitar/bass) and Zack Davis (bass.)

EOS has been playing shows in the Sacramento and surrounding environs since 2009, from large concert venues to the smallest of sports bars, bringing its high energy to incite smiles, dancing, singing and laughter among concertgoers. Think Incubus, Bob Marley, Jason Mraz, Sublime, Rebelution and everything in between. Positive vibes on the beach at sunset: This won’t be a $5 reggae party (it’s free, in fact.)

Taking Root is a South Lake Tahoe band that fuses reggae, ska and classic rock. You know these guys: EJ Hixenbaugh, Drums; Warren Martineau, bass: Ryan Saunders, guitar; and Matt Ault, keyboards.
