Event Description

Sol Ruiz’s skills have placed her in the spotlight as more and more are beginning to see what all the fuss is about. She will perform at Waxy O’Connors.

“The flower child of Psychedelic Cuban Blues, SOL, was born in the magic city between the sun and the supernova. The Neo Hippie Rain Maker of Cuban decent from Miami, uses the cultural mix of her environment along with the influences of the Gritty Blues from the Dirty South, to evolve her music to what it is today. The Cuban essence is there, son underlying her own music just as it does nearly all the music actually from her native country. But there’s much, much more than homage to her heritage. There’s jazz from the golden era of the genre, when throaty, smoky voiced sirens lit smokier still clubs afire with their seductive vocals. And the blues run rampant. She channels Billie Holiday, Celia Cruz and Janis Joplin. Listen to her music and you become a believer, instantly converted to her gospel of classic sounds and varied styles presented with a new and unique twist. “Sol’s music could easily rock the ties off music industry execs looking for a hit on commercial airwaves, while other songs could just as easily work their way around the more pensive college radio circuit.”(Miami New Times) She is probably the closest thing to pass for a description of an artist as easy to label as trying to catch wind in a bottle.” – Myspace
