Souls for Rent exploded onto the Chicago music scene this spring, marking the latest creative endeavor of accomplished local guitar player and songwriter, Geoff Siebold.

Siebold describes Souls’ sound as funky rock, with singable, melodic hooks. “There is a definitive percussive nature to Souls’ songs. The guitar ‘hooks’ set the tone and are what I want people to hear first and foremost.”

Siebold, who plays lead guitar and sings lead vocals, has assembled an impressive list of veteran musicians to support Souls’ signature sound. Long-time friend and fellow band member Dan Heim keeps steady and skilled rhythm on drums and background vocals. His creativity and contributions are compelling, according to Siebold. Accomplished musician Brian Beck, contributes strong bass lines, and background vocals. Guitarist Lon Ripley rounds out the band’s sound with great melodic insight. He adds texture and sonic interest live and in the studio.
