Jon and Calie, the founders of Solitude, originated together in an alternative-funk-rock band with 2 other friends. Though Spoken For didn’t last long, Calie and Jon continued to pursue musical interests together, writing songs, and performing in local coffee shops. During the fall of 2003, Calie ventured on to the University of Virginia where she plans to study music. Though Jon remained in Virginia Beach, they continued to maintain their relationships, both personal and musical. During a gig at Java Junction with friends' band Flipside, they asked Rob, a friend of Flipside, if he wanted to play the congas for the last two songs of their set. After the gig ended, Rob was asked if he wanted to join Solitude—from then on, Solitude began recording and perfecting both new and old songs. But it doesn't stop there. In September of 2004, Solitude added its newest addition, Wendell, on the drums--and what a dynamic addition he is. Pictures of Wendell coming soon.
