Resonant Soul taking hiatus
Local band Resonant Soul has decided to take an indefinite hiatus.
In a statement, band members said, “With heavy hearts and weary minds, we must reluctantly announce that the members of Resonant Soul have decided to part ways in order to preserve the deep friendship and brotherhood that we’ve shared since long before we’ve shared the stage.
“People often grow apart in different ways, and it seems that we have done so musically, which is why we have decided to sever this part of our relationship before we lose what is truly important.
The band will perform all of the shows they have booked through July and plan a farewell party/concert in August.
