Who Are The Kindred Souls?

Kindred Souls is an all original rock-n-roll band currently performing in New York. Their music is fueled by strong songwriting and power- house vocals. Like the very best of rock, the music has shades of blues, jazz, R&B, funk and soul. They have played at the IMG New York City Marathon for three years running, and they have become a regular sight at both Asbury Park's The Stone Pony, and in New York's West Village. The band has a great live show that takes the audience through the whole range of human emotion.

Kindred Souls was formed by singer-songwriter Jeff Rafferty and keyboardist Lon Bachrach. They have written and self produced five albums, taking the time to sharpen their songwriting skills, and have developed a signature musical style that is all their own. The band features the considerable talents of bassist Stan Quincy Adams, guitarists Ted Heman and Jeff Samet, and drummer Paul Lavenhar.

Having recently released their new CD "Takes Two," they have filmed and released a video for the title song, "Takes Two." The band has also recently gained global distribution for the album, having released it through Its About Music.com. Kindred Souls is currently performing live in the New York / New Jersey area. They have been featured at such venues as The Lion’s Den, The Bitter End, Don Hill's and The Knitting Factory.

The band is now working on songs for their next album, and will be back in the studio to record the CD just after the first of the year. Kindred Souls is in the process of choosing proper management and shopping their upcoming project to several independent and major labels.
