News from THE DELL

November 2008
Whewww! October was sizzlin’! November is here, so I can’t wait to see the action packed events this month. Middleburg Va. is new territory, so come out and bring that Souled Out energy that only our fans know how to bring. We’re back by popular demand in Leesburg, Strasburg, and Front Royal to drop off some more funk. If you’ve never seen us or heard us at the Pub in Harrisonburg, you haven’t really been to a Souled Out Show yet. Don’t miss these shows if you’re SERIOUS about having a good time. For all my church folks, I’ve got more spiritual trax for your downloading pleasure on the way. Right click, save target as- Let’s Praise Him! So until next month, I’ll see you soon and remember SOULED OUT IS LOVE!!!

October 2008
October is Rocktober because the Souled Out band is rocking all over! From the return to Front Royal and Shepherdstown to the non stop parties at The Pub and Sweet Caroline's for Halloween. Because of extra-ordinary freakiness, we’ve added the FREAK LIGHT along with the FREAK BELL and THE WHIP. I’ve been crankin’ my IDJ2 mixer during the breaks to ensure as I always say, the party don’t stop just 'cuz it’s intermission. Sad news, the Souled Out thongs are all gone!! If you didn’t get one ladies, we might get more next year. All my fans, new music is continually coming for download on my website so enjoy. Remember if it’s cool outside, come inside for some hot music, hot people and some hot funk and soul with the SOULED OUT BAND AND SHOW!!!  PEOPLE LET”S GO!!!!

September 2008
Where did the summer go? Let's hope the weather doesn't cool off too much this month. We'll try to keep the music HOT regardless. Thanks to all the road warriors once again. Also special shout out to the private party crashers. Thanks for the support and the discretion. I got  a new keyboard, the Yamaha MO6, so look out for new trax for your listening pleasure coming very soon. Back to band news, for a couple of dates this month and in October, we'll have our fill in drummer, Jeff Bell, as Matt goes off to do some other activities. Please show Jeff some special love! Don't worry 'cuz the party continues as usual. By the way, ya'll freaks are slacking on the thongs, if you're scared say you're scared! It's all good 'cuz ya'll are STILL setting off the FREAK BELL. Remember to UNLEASH THE BEAST and get a MONSTER energy drink, our proud sponsor. Lastly as Bev says, We're SOuLeD OUT every night, but you can still get in!

August 2008
Vacation was off the hook! How can you NOT have fun in Vegas! I'm back and inspired from that West Coast energy. Now it's time to keep the party going on the East Coast and this month has it all. The usual hot spots- Sweet Caroline's, The Pub, Downtown Strasburg - I don't even have to ask for party people to show up in Strasburg. (HINT) If you don't know, ya better ask somebody. August 5th - 7-10 PM. No day is safe from the SOULED OUT PARTY, even on a Tuesday night. So for anybody thinking about booking the band during the week remember it don't matter, just pick a day and it's on. Weddings have been consistently high energy filled lately too. So thanks again to all those who continually come out and inspire us to do what we love to do- make you dance, party and have fun! Summer is just getting started- LET'S GET IT POPPIN'!!!


July 2008
Happy 4th Of July Souled Out Family! I'm celebrating every weekend of JULY cuz it's my birthday at the end of the month and I'm going to Vegas baby! First off I have to thank all those that came out to the Berryville Event in the middle of the week.. Many firsts took place as we introduced our partnership and sponsorship with MONSTER ENERGY DRINK. So everybody RELEASE THE BEAST and pick up a can and toast with us as I lift up the PIMP CUP. My personal favorite is the orange Khaos flavor, check it out.  A lot of Souled Out virgins were converted and many CD's were sold. We thank you and welcome you into the family. Also to all my Souled Out Road Dogs, thanks for traveling up 81 north to party with us. No matter where we are, Harrisonburg is in the house! Last but not least, I have to thank my church family for coming out and giving their support. (Singing) Welcome, Welcome to Mt. Carmel Baptist Church. So everybody enjoy the month, stay safe, and I'll see ya soon.

After a quick weekend in South Beach! and 80 degrees, that Miami energy sparked me to let you know, it's time to bring the heat once again! April brings in the return of that Souled Out heat back to Staunton and Charles Town. We added some new songs to the set list. PLUS OUR NEW LIVE CD! recorded at the PUB in Harrisonburg is available for your party and listening pleasure.

Finally! Springtime has about sprung so let's warm it up like only the SOULED OUT CREW can do. Last month was especially fun as we initiated some new Souled Out virgins into the family. On behalf of Souled Out, I welcome you with the christening from the FREAK BELL. Special shout out to the private party crews! Ya'll have been surprisingly off the hook. To my spiritual family out there, my new CD " DIVINE OVERFLOW" is just about finished. Who says church folk and believers can't get funky and step it out. All in celebration of praising JESUS! Anyway as the blessings keep coming, I'll continue to bless all of you with my gifts and talents. May your life also continue to be blessed. See you at the gig or at the church.  IT'S ALL GOOD!

For the band and our fans, 2008 is gonna be awesome and promising for all of us. I'm speaking it into existence. The show is always evolving and changing so it should be fun to see where we have gone and where we end up musically by the end of this year.

Happy New Year Friends and Family! Thanks for all the love and support and for buying my CD's at the shows. I'm working on a couple of new projects, but not sure which one I will focus on more. I'll post a couple sample song ideas next month for you to hear and maybe you can help me decide which project to go with. Remember to tell everybody where Souled Out is, that's where the party is. Until then, see ya at the party! 

December 2006
Happy Holidays To Everyone. Remember the reason for the season. Celebrate HIS life this season and all of 2007! HAPPY NEW YEAR!

November 2006
Dell has just released his next project - a 10 song instrumental jazz funk CD!!!   Samples and further information will be posted on the music page.

October 2006
Dell has just announced he is currently working on his next release - a 10 song instrumental jazz funk CD!!!   More details will be posted as news comes in...

September 2006
3 new CD releases now available! 
 

A Journey With Jesus is a combination of secular songs and some new material. Each selection is written or re-written with a spiritual theme. Classics such as Anita Baker's Sweet Love, The Chi-Lites Oh Girl, and Surface's Happy are lyrically re-written to give praise to God. A couple of instrumentals inspired by my church's praise team close out the CD to allow the listener to relax and meditate in his presence. My friends in Christ will enjoy it, but this CD is for the non-believer who may be undecided about spiritual direction. Listen to this CD and hopefully you'll realize, HE'S REAL!  I invite you all to come worship at my church Mt Carmel Baptist Church, 1317 South Pleasant Valley Rd. Winchester, VA. Come And Get Your Praise On!
 
Collaborations 1 and 2 is a set of CD's of classic songs recorded from their original recordings. The TWIST is I've added my vocals in the mix, blending and adding harmonies and background parts. This is a groundbreaking idea that's never been done before. These songs are classics and don't need any modifications but it's like a dream come true to "collaborate" or sing along side artists such as Al Green, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, etc. All you old school heads will really enjoy these projects. Pick up both CD's!
